The family is planning for another long haul trip to the States.
We are undecided over Chicago city touristy stuff or Washington and North Caroline road trip. The latter will need a longer period and we are limited by the school holiday time period.
We planned to book the air tickets, hotels and car rentals way before to lock in the travel time as it is a peak travel period.
Finally the itinerary looks like this
SIN-NRT-ATL -- GRR // ORD-NRT-SIN
Even with 7 months advance planning, I still could not get good deal on Singapore Airlines. So I finally opt for Delta which is by the way the little prince favorite too.
The ticket cost by Delta is 30% cheaper overall. Moreover we do not need to worry over domestic flights connection timing. More importantly, I booked extra legroom for the tall men (1.81m & still growing) on these long haul flight which are not overly pricey.
The only difference between SQ and Delta is the F&B service. It is not really that important to us anyway.
For example, the last trip to the States on SQ, we totally missed night time serving of the snacks, chocolate, fruits etc as they carried so little quantity of it, by the time we are awake and hungry, they ran out of snacks. So like Delta, we just eat the standard meal servings. SQ will be good for travellers who stay up throughout the flight as you get free flow of food and drink.
