Ua: Lax-iad-kwi $861, 4.9 cpm
From theflightdeal, lots of availibility. Its cutting it close on MR but free stopovers are always cool, you can essentially do the whole trip in Europe and then do a same day turn in KWI. The KWI flight on UA leaves at 12:55am "the next day".
Sample Travel Date:
November 3rd – 10th
Fare Availability:
Valid for travel on the outbound from November 1st – December 4th or December 28th – March 24th, 2015 for Sunday through Wednesday departures from the United States and Monday through Thursday departures to the United States. Must purchase by June 10th
How to Search for Availability:
Use ITA Software Matrix Airfare Search and use the following search criteria:
Departing from: LAX
Outbound Advanced Routing Code: iad
Destination: KWI
Return Advanced Routing Code: iad
(Click on Advanced Routing Codes link to enable advanced routing code input)
Select “See calendar of lowest fares”
Length of stay “0-7″ (the max date range is 7 days. So 0-7, 5-12, 7-14 etc)

Fare Class:
K
Elite Qualifying Dollars:
$778
Routing:
LAX – IAD (Washington D.C.) – KWI (Kuwait City) – IAD – LAX
Stopover:
Two permitted for free in Frankurt, Munich, Geneva, Vienna, Zurich, Brussels, Berlin or Dusseldorf. Be mindful that if you do take the stopover in those cities and because of the fare rule, you will unlikely earn any miles from Europe to Kuwait. Ensure that your segment between the US and Europe is on United to earn miles for those segments. Finally, just because the fare rules allow for stopovers does not mean it actually exist.

Already a thread in the MR forum for UA:LAX-SFO-IAD-KWI-BAH. The fare has been available for some time on and off, to Bahrain on the continuation of the IAD to KWI flight.
Heading out myself on Nov 21st to BAH on a one day turnaround.
