Airfare deals are typically only available on limited dates. We recommend that you use Google Flights to find dates to fly, then book through an online travel agency, such as Orbitz, which allows you to cancel flights without penalty by 11pm Eastern Time within one day of booking. Remember: Fares may disappear quickly, so book right away and take advantage of Orbitz’s courtesy cancellation if you’re unable to travel. Additionally, keep in mind that discounted partner fares may not earn miles with US-based carriers.
Singapore is just about as far as you can get from the East Coast. The city makes for a great starting point for vacations to Southeast Asia, and other destinations in the region. Right now, United is offering terrific deals for one-stop service from Newark (EWR) to Singapore (SIN), with round-trip flights available starting at just $587. It looks like United is matching fares after Delta dropped its prices at the end of August. The deal is good from September through June 2017. Note that you'll have to make a stop in Tokyo (NRT) each way, with the NRT - SIN leg operated by ANA and can earn 21,200 PQMs with United.
