There's is currently a 40% bonus (ends 3/31/11) on MR transfers to BA. You could redeem BA miles for travel on CX SFO-HKG-SIN-HKG-SIN if you can find award availability. A stopover in HKG in either or both directions would be permitted without additional mileage. However, you should look into whether BA imposes a fuel surcharge on CX redemptions on this route.

Thanks -- it seems like it would take 130,000 miles for one economy ticket (or about 90,000 miles with the 40% bonus), which seems like it's one way to go, but I doubt I'll be able to book by 3/31.

Also, how would I go about booking CX through BA? Would I call them to do it?
