Thinking about a surf trip to the Ments this spring/summer. What airlines do you guys who have done it a few times like best? Bonus points for minimal connections from LAX, reasonable board bag fees, and no grief for carrying 3+ boards in a coffin.

I've done the Air Emirates thing thru Dubai. The plane was clean, service & food was decent or better. Dubai airport has a nice transit hotel -- it was maybe 80 bucks for the night. We had a 6 or 8 hour layover there, so it felt like heaven to take a shower and crash for a few hours.bird. said:Thanks for the responses all. I was hoping there was something easier that I was missing, but I'll deal haha.
Found out I might have a hook up on discounted Emirates flights, so I'm looking at Dubai connections now. A little more time in the air but similar travel time overall with one fewer stop than most other options doesn't sound too bad.
grapedrink said:From what I understand there are no direct flights to Singapore from the US. There were for a few years from LAX and NYC, but the cost of fuel to carry the extra fuel required to get that far around the globe made it cost prohibitive That's why all the flights go through Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, etc.
