Since meeting Hailey, my girlfriend, she has been eager to visit Singapore. I have been tracking flight prices from LAX to SIN for the past couple of months and exploring ways to utilize my accumulated credit card points for a free trip for both of us. Thanks to the points I had saved up from my Chase credit cards, I managed to cover most of the expenses solely through points.


As we approach the end of the month, the excitement is building. We have been talking about the ways that we will explore Singapore’s vibrant culture, stunning architecture, and incredible food scene. I've been eagerly researching all the must-see attractions and hidden gems in the city-state to ensure we make the most of our trip.




See our full trip itinerary at the bottom of the page


We take off at the end of this month, from LAX to SIN with a quick 1 hour layover in NRT.


For accommodation, we've chosen a new boutique hotel in the heart of the city. The location will be perfect for exploring the bustling streets and iconic landmarks, near Chinatown.


Our itinerary includes exploring Chinatown to wander through its colorful streets and sample delicious street food at the hawker centers (Maxwell and Lau Pa Sat specifically).


Food is a significant part of our planned journey. We're excited to try the famous Hainanese chicken rice, and other local delicacies. We've made a list of top-rated hawker centers and restaurants to ensure we get the best culinary experience Singapore has to offer.


We can't wait to share our experiences along the way. Stay tuned for updates as we get closer to our dream trip to Singapore!
