:thankyou: :thankyou: :thankyou: for all your hard work. Maybe I should institute a sanity check for myself. I'm sure it would eliminate some of my self inflicted problems, and reduce the complexity of living. :lol:

Once again, THANK YOU!!!

While I am getting this thing posted let me share the final pricing and early booking special that will start today thru July 26 midnight Eastern.

The pkg dropped over $200 by departing Nov 3 vs Nov 2. The air went up $125 or $1425 vs $1300 so the total price is still LESS than what I originally published. :thankyou: And to get the airfare back to the $1300 mark I will make the early booking discount for early payment in full $100. So pay in full by July 26th Midnight and you will get the new pricing which is less AND you'll get the airfare at essentially the original price we estimated or over $300 less than we originally thought. Do keep in mind the price of the 'sleep time in Singapore both inbound and outbound' has not been factored in. You will have several choices ranging from as little as $25 per person each layover or up to $100+ taxes per person. This cost was not part of the original quote either...so you are still $300 ahead if you pay early or $200 ahead by giving me a few days to work this pricing over! :thankyou:


NEW PRICING:

Manado & Lembeh Straits Package Overview:

SHORTER OPTION: Nov 3-13, 2010 'shorter pkg' (1 nt Singapore, 5 nts 4 days diving Manado, 3 nts 2 days diving Lembeh & 1 nt Singapore $2065 d/o for 4 boat dives a day Manado & 3 boat dives Lembeh + Unlimited Shorediving Lembeh)
PLUS: Air from SFO to Manado $1425 (see early booking discount of $100 off air!)
TOTAL: $2065 + $1425 = $3490 + Hotel Option(s) for Singapore both inbound and outbound (approx $50 to $225)
or
LONGER OPTION: Nov 3-16, 2010 'longer pkg' (1 nt Singapore, 5 nts 4 days diving Manado, 5 nts 4 days diving Lembeh & 1 nt Singapore $2400 d/o for 4 boat dives a day Manado & 3 boat dives Lembeh + Unlimited Shorediving Lembeh)
PLUS: Air from SFO to Manado $1425 (see early booking discount of $100 off air!)
TOTAL: $2400 + $1425 = $3825 + Hotel Option(s) for Singapore both inbound and outbound (approx $50 to $225)
or
CUSTOM OPTION: Nov 3-16++, 2010 (1 nt Singapore, 5 nts 4 days diving Manado, 5 nts 4 days diving Lembeh & 1 nt Singapore $TBD d/o for 4 boat dives a day Manado & 3 boat dives Lembeh + Unlimited Shorediving Lembeh + Extra Days Lembeh or connection to another destination.)
PLUS: Air from SFO to Manado $1425 (see early booking discount of $100 off air!)
TOTAL: $TBD + $1425 or your choice of add'l air options = $TBD + Hotel Option(s) for Singapore both inbound and outbound (approx $50 to $225)

Singapore Hotel Options:
1. Option of a hotel room with bed and bath in either single, double or triple occupancy for approx $100US + tax split 1-3 ways (final price to be confirmed).
2. Or you can opt for one of the transit lounges for $25 US with oversized big chairs for naps and salad bar, shower area, computers, weight machines. (BOTH areas offer massages and the airport hotel has an outdoor pool!)
3. Or you can go luxury on the return portion of your trip and layover in Singapore at with a 2night Package on the return at the Grand Copthorne Waterfront $225 and includes taxes/transfers. (Don't forget you need to choose one of the airport options on the inbound.)

Early Booking Special: Book and pay in full by July 26th for either the shorter pkg* or longer pkg EVEN IF YOU ARE ADDING EXTRA DAYS/DESTINATIONS and you will receive $100 off the air making it $1325 vs $1425 or $75 off the pkg if doing your own air. (The air went up $125 and we have 16 spots on the contract locked in so add'l savings goes to those who help us use these spots.)

*If you wish to stay longer than Nov 16th you must book the longer pkg. for purposes of the booking promo since we can not figure out your entire pkg in time to benefit from the discount. If you book the shorter pkg and then change to the longer pkg you will forfeit the early booking discount so please do not book the shorter pkg merely to get the early payment discount.

OLD PRICING: Total package cost 2-16Nov from SFO $3925 to include all taxes subject to airfare availability/change (or $4175 with group block air LAX as of fare today SQ) , dives/air ( I am still needing confirmation Nitrox cost/availbilty ) and transfers, meals etc as noted.

Less airfare -$1300 = $2625 12nts land only. OR $3025 including air from/to Singpaore/Manodo 5-15Nov only..

Note 3-13Nov less 2nts/days KBR and 1nt Singapore would be less -$450 retail per person twin share =$3475 air inclusive, subject to availbilty of flights, SFO suggested.

Could I get the details when the flight from SFO lands in SIN? Date/Time

Bjs


I'm definitely 'IN' for the 'Long Option', will send $$$ 7/20.

Just have a couple ???

Is the SFO>>>SIN flight, SQ #15, departing SFO 1:45 PM, 3 Nov, and arriving SIN 1:15 AM, 5 Nov??

Are the departing flights SIN>>>SFO, SQ #16, arriving SFO 11:15 AM??

Will your 'consolidater' be able to book transit hotel in SIN [both incoming & outgoing]??

Will your 'consolidater' be able to book air from point of origin to SFO, and home??

:thankyou:

Bill

Sorry for the delays gang...the trip formats we use are pretty extensive so still trying to finish it while transiting and leading another trip.

Let me reply to all the questions first AND get the trip officially open so you can sign up and do what we normally do. My biggest drawback right now is I'm missing the price of the extra days in Lembeh if going past the 16th. However its not unreasonable and is less than $100 per day for room and about $60 per 2 tank dives. This is a rough estimate and I will have it dialed in on my next break for you to finalize things.

AIRFARE UPDATES:

SIN = Singapore
MDC = Manado

Outbound:

1 SQ 15N 03NOV W SFOSIN SS1 145P 115A 05NOV -sleep airport and connect AM to;
2 MI 274Q 05NOV F SINMDC SS1 925A 105P /

Return:
3 MI 273Q 15NOV M MDCSIN SS1 150P 505P /
4 SQ 16N 16NOV T SINSFO LL1 920A 1115A /


Notes:

1.We can do the same routing for you to return the 17th to get extra time in for tours
2. We can and will book the transit hotel in advance so everyone is assured of a place to crash AND hopefully they get their frist preference for how they wish to do it i.e. room or lounge etc.
3. Our consolidator will quote and book any add-on flights from your originating city to SFO and then add to the routing above so all segments are one one ticket. She can also do some magic on any other return options you may have as well.
4. I have requested the LAX and the IAD options that were requested so far. I wlll post as soon as I have the answers for you.
