    Need to get to Singapore on the above date (25th/9/1978)
    Would prefer direct flight, hence the quote above. Has to be business class - I'm a large chap and I like to have plenty of room.

    Anyone out there got any improvements/other suggestions on how this could be an even better deal? (Like cheap-but-central accomodation from 26th - 29th?)

    Can this be beaten. Been told it's not worth asking Kuoni for discounts as they will not do.

    Any help or advice wouold be much appreciated. Thanks.
