I was trying to find good fares from Munich this winter. Specifically I was looking for MUC-SIN-ADL-SIN-MUC between January and April. When I try to book that trip on ebookers (and basically all other booking engines) I get 1205€ for the trip without the possibility to chose flights. I always have to take the next flight available. (I do want a 5 day stopover in SIN) So I asked and mailed a few of the companies, if they could arrange this. None could.
It seems you can book a flight in advance for up to one year (or more), but when there is a stopover (twice in SIN) involved, it can only be 300 days in advance.

Anybody here with the same experience?

You might get a better response by posting this question on the airlines forum of this board.

As long as the last segment is before ~APR15th you should not have a problem.

I did the following on expedia.com:

I have found that a good travel agent can save you money and time. Call one.

It looks like it's not doable on the net right now.

The max. possible to book now are 3 legs.

what are you talking about?

see my example above?

very much bookable....

ebookers came back with a higher fare but still very much bookable:

Thanks, on the international site there are indeed more than 3 legs possible and this routing shows up! Just the price is up too from 1205&euro; to 1390 pounds. I'll try the other national sites.

Still on the german site, ebookers shows different fares, depending on the language you select. Freaky!

I'm not an expert when it comes to this -- but why do you need to stopover twice in Singapore? I mean, can't you book MUC-SIN, SIN-ADL, ADL-MUC or MUC-ADL, ADL-SIN, SIN-MUC?

Or you can try an open jaw and try a low cost carrier for ADL-SIN -- is there one? Maybe Jetstar?

Obivously there's something I'm missing....

I only need one stopover and I can only enter a maximum of 3 legs in the .. booking engines. And whenever I enter MUC-SIN, SIN-ADL and ADL-MUC, ADL-MUC is routed via Singapore and Frankfurt at a much higher rate.
I've tried AirAsia for low cost, but without success. Jetstar sounds interesting

If you don't need a stopver during your return go to www.lufthansa.com:

Wed 1 Apr 23:05Singapore 05:25 +1 Frankfurt LH779 Economy (W)
Thu 2 Apr 06:30Frankfurt 07:25 Munich LH960 Economy (W) </i>

1351EU all in.

Sounds like AAFF has answered your question -- but what booking engine were you using? It seems like most (Orbitz, Expedia) allow for more than 3 legs. Maybe it's different for the preferred one for Germany.

More than 3 legs isn't possible on most search engines they wan't you to call or mail for whatever reason. On ebookes, the US and the Irish version can do more than 3 legs. I've also tried opodo, lastminute, lturfly and anything checkfelix brings up. Seems most EU Versions can only do 3...

This is odd. Thanks however for mentioning the possibility to book on lufthansa.com, this works. Just that it's 150&euro; more just for the possibility to book a stopover online make me still look for a &quot;better&quot; (=cheaper) option. Anyway 1350 for Lufthansa/Singapore Airl. isn't too bad imho.
