It's been several years on since I've visited Asia.
I plan on flying into Singapore on flyer points in late April from
where I wish to fly to Taipei to visit my cousin's family for a few
days then on to BKK (for a few days out towards 3 Pagodas area), then
onward via bus or train (not concerned with those modes of transport)
to Phuket for some kayaking. I'll be flying to Singapore from Phuket.
What sort of prices might I expect these days for one-way air tickets
for each of these 3 legs:
Singapore-Taipei
Taipei-BKK
Phuket-Singapore

Thanks in advance

I wager all these oneways will not be cheap...

might just be better to save your miles and buy one of the 2 flavours of
Asia passes

Last time I went to Asia on points I was able to get two cities for
the same number of points by talking to the agent (you can't do this
on line). I could have gotten other cities for the short haul Asian
point fare. Given the itinerary, you might actually come out ahead by
buying your one-way fares with points and finding a discount fare to
Asia if you don't have enough points for both.

Best regards,
