Maximizing AA miles on trip to SIN
Hello,
I have an upcoming biz trip to SIN from SFO in June. I would like to maximize my EQM and EQP on AA on this trip. Apart from the usual SFO-HKG-SIN on CX metal (which does not tend to give full EQM and EQP on AA) I looked at AA codeshares on EY for SFO-AUH-SIN, but the fares are far too expensive.
What other longer and more innovative routings can I consider with reasonable fares?

If you have time, you can do SFO-JFK/MIA/MCO/BOS-SIN. When booking, choose the AA codeshare flights for NRT-SIN /HKG-SIN depending on your connection.

I flew PHX-DFW-HKG-SIN, SIN-NRT-DFW-PHX back in January, booked through the AA website, with all segments having an AA flight number. I received full credit for all flights, even though HKG-SIN was on CX and SIN-NRT on JL.
After we pushed back from the gate at DFW, and the pilot said, "our flight time today is 16 hours and 16 minutes," nearly everyone onboard groaned. That was my longest flight so far.
