Which award? - Results (1 vote)
80000 ANA Points + $500 for taxes, fuel, etc.
100% (1 vote)
1
140000 SQ Points + $160 for taxes, fuel, etc.
0% (0 votes)
0
so my choices are in the poll. for value sake, let's pretend 1 point is 1 cent, so 80k is 800 and 140k is 1400.

so more points, less cash or less points more cash.

also for the second one, i have to fly to los angeles first, but thats not expensive. like 150 round trip, which ill probably pay for with points

ugh but i could book hotels with those points instead

ugh

yeah i am tempted by this cuz ill be able to fly one of the flagship Japanese airliners

but Singapore Airlines is constantly getting great ratings and reviews. i flew with them when i went to korea the first time and i loved it. i flew korean air and i didn't like it so much so flagship may not mean best...

Do you think the extra 60000 points equates or exceeds the $340 discrepancy?

If you're not looking for any honest discussion, agreement, meeting halfway or middle ground, don't bother arguing with me. Selfish narcissists need not apply.

hmm well ill have 15000 points left over, so it cuts it down a little bit.

also i should say that an ANA ticket costs 2000 dollars. SQ is only 900. so the ana is technically a better value, but they could just inflate their ticket costs cuz they can

I've flown both to Tokyo. Both good airlines. I prefer ANA, but the SQ price is nice. Sometimes ANA does not have wi-fi on the plane though. It's worth springing the $50-$75 for a daypass to the lounge if you can afford it.

If you're staying in Tokyo I recommend Room & Board Hotel: http://randb.jp/en/

Nice mix of Western & Japanese amenities.

I stayed at an APA hotel once. It was unsettling. The books are right by the door of your room.

I checked out ASAP.

Nah, this place: https://www.apahotel.com/ja_en/

The books, which are in Japanese, English & Chinese are real WWII revisionist bullshit.

I just remembered too APA did an 8pm FIRE DRILL one of the nights I was there. I was in the shower getting ready to go out for a late dinner & drinks & almost ran out naked.

Also Japanese hotels , if you've never been to one, are a lot more Spartan than what you can expect in America.
