You can also consider SFO-SIN-SFO out 12/5 return 12/7 for $827 - a couple thousand less miles than CGK and about $40 more, but a very simple MR. This can go along with SFO-EWR-SFO for around $270 most days from 1 to 15 December.

WAW to LAX is under $1000 in class V which earns 50%. Look at the flight below, and on the Lufthansa website change the flight to use "Economy Basic Plus" which translates to V.

Position yourself in HKG. Then fly twice to IAH at USD 504 per trip.

Thanks man, I also found simillar booking to HKG with ~7000 miles in Economy Basic which should do the work, was too focused on Premium Economy/Business and was missing obvious

The cheapest I see to North America is DUS to YYZ for $438 or DUS to EWR for $449, see links.

Jbeckett, you are great! I am watching you accommodate the needs and I wish I had your skills and expertise. Not asking for any help... yet. I just wanted to acknowledge your efforts to help others. Kudos to you.
