You can book OZ for the TYO-SEL leg for $400 more, although I'm not sure why you'd want to.

Also, if you really want to maximize PQM, you can route via HNL using something like BOS-EWR-HNL-NRT-ICN-NRT-HNL-EWR-BOS.

Not permitted per fare rules. Tpac has to be UA metal.

Wow. No need to nest. I just picked up a same day return in October.
Major glitch as UA.com said "7 tickets at this price" on the date I selected.

google.com/flights which will go into .bomb

BOS - SFO - ICN - NRT - IAD - BOS for $1720 - not too shabby - if not for PQDs it would give me gold without flying a single flight on UA this year - instead I'll view it as an investment for a future award ticket and the most comfortable way to spend my fall break

Rookie routing question - What is the easiest way to force something like this? I am not sure the method.

Use ITA to find dates and then .bomb to book.

that's tricky because you need TYO-SEL in business and not in First. Most OTAs won't handle that well. A good TA can book this w/o any issues.

On UA's site, that segment was coming in as Y b/c it was a 737.
