A Photojourney: 25 hrs Singapore Airlines First Class from Sao Paulo to Singapore (GRU-BCN-SIN) for 93,000 Krisflyer Miles & 37 USD

in #travel6 years ago

Singapore Airlines no longer flies from Sao Paulo to Singapore, but two years ago, a couple of months before they discontinued this route, I was able to experience Singapore Airlines First Class for a glorious 25 hours. The plane went from Sao Paulo to Barcelona (~12 hrs), had a 1+hr stop, and continued from Barcelona to Singapore (~12 hrs).

Just in case you think I'm rich, I ain't. I travel-hack, and transferred 93,000 credit card points to my Krisflyer account, paying 93,000 Krisflyer miles and $37 for this glorious experience. Enjoy the pictures.
