Tohto Hypersonic May 18, 2018 Share May 18, 2018 try these Airlines directly on their website. MU - China Eastern : SIN-PVG-JFK CA - Air China : SIN-PEK-JFK BR - EVA : SIN-TPE-JFK UA - United : SIN-SFO-EWR (Newark Airport) Among the 4, I will only take EVA. MU a 5hrs flight to shanghai sucks already. I don't even want to think about inter-continents flight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrianli Hypersonic May 24, 2018 Share May 24, 2018 I am narrowing my airline choices now. 1. Qatar 2. Emirates 3. British Airways My fren say Qatar is good for its timing. Overnight flight from SG and from JFK airport so more day time in NYC. Also my fren say must apply for ESTA. So no problems with US customs although Singapore is under visa waiver program. Did you guys apply for ESTA? Must pay USD14 for applying it online. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lala81 Hypersonic May 24, 2018 Share May 24, 2018 Thanks. My friend ask me use Hotwire.com for car rental but mostly SUV, no have Ford F150. The Statue of Liberty is on an island so must book with tour agent to visit? staten island and statue of liberty can buy the ferry tickets. But i think going up need to prebook tickets online? But i went in 2005. so memory hazy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lala81 Hypersonic May 24, 2018 Share May 24, 2018 niagara falls is more scenic at canadian side but i think maid of the mist ride and the overhanging glass overlook area is on USA side. Canadian side got some small resorts and casinos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lala81 Hypersonic May 24, 2018 Share May 24, 2018 U can go Central Park if u are curious. It's just beside Museum of natural history. Brooklyn bridge? Basically i went there and walked to many places I've only seen on TV. Just to see it in real life, like Waldorf astoria, the plaza hotel, Rockefeller center. Going DC or boston is quite easy also. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fcw75 Hypersonic May 24, 2018 Share May 24, 2018 Must apply for ESTA, don't play play. You don't want to take a 20 hrs flight there then they ask you to U-turn back. niagara falls is more scenic at canadian side but i think maid of the mist ride and the overhanging glass overlook area is on USA side. Canadian side got some small resorts and casinos. I took Maid of the Mist on the Canadian side last time. Studied there for 3 years and been there 7 times. Sometimes weekend nothing to do just drive to Niagara Falls. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately i never take before. maybe when my kids are older, i'll bring them. I do want to go back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrianli Hypersonic June 12, 2018 Share June 12, 2018 ESTA approved. Can now book flight tickets and look for hotel. Qatar airways cost $1,500. SQ cost $2,200 but its premium economy. Worth the $700 difference? Any hotel at Niagara Falls in US and Canada to recommend? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrianli Hypersonic June 12, 2018 Share June 12, 2018 SQ direct flight? If yes, definitely worth it. Not direct flight. Direct flight not started yet. If got direct fly, then at that price is worthwhile. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fcw75 Hypersonic June 12, 2018 Share June 12, 2018 Qatar service is good. I will save the $700 to spend there. How about the flight time and transit time? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
