Does anyone have experience with use SIngapore Airline miles on United? I want to take a trip to Hawaii from EWR but want to take advantage of the stopover/open jaw. Is the below possible:
EWR-HNL
HNL-EWR
EWR-Caribbean
Is this possible for 35K miles round trip?

Questions to the experts on stopovers/layovers
I want to use KF miles to book United flights flying from Puerto Rico to Hawaii roundtrip, with 2 stopovers in NYC on each leg (so add'l $100).
Q1. Can I stopover twice in the same city (NYC)? There are reports that add'l stopovers (for $100 extra) are no longer allowed? Source: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/singa...rt-awards.html
Q2. I might need to do a layover in LAX or Denver on one of the legs, how long do I have for this layover?
If it's considered international, then I can layover at LAX/Denver for 24hrs but if it's domestic, I only have 4 hours, right? Or is it like American with 18hrs for Hawaii flights? Or does the domestic layover limit of 4hrs just flat out not applied to KF partner bookings?
4 hours obviously will not do, so may need to position my origin to Central America instead of Puerto Rico to make this international...?
TIA!
