In about 6 months you will be able to start looking for flights (1 year in advance). There are tools out there to help you search (One i have heard of is the ANA tool, but I'm not sure if you have to be a FF to use it). You can't use miles on SQs new J, but the new ANA and OZ J is good. Sorry I can't be of much more help, but good luck!
And of course,

The EWR-India will be on a 772 with a great chance for lie-flat seating by the time you fly.
I wonder why? Other then the flat seat (which you can get on other airlines) CO is not as good as NH, SQ, and OZ.
