I'm also considering going LAX-NRT and spending 3-4 nights in Tokyo as an open-jaw, and then continue on to DPS, however that seems like a tough seat to find as well.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Prior to our repatriation to the U.S. (we were living in London), we used our Amex Points to fly to Bali by transferring them to ANA. Not quite CO OnePass, as they weren't Star Alliance back then, but I guess its relevant now. We flew LHR to BKK to DPS on TG. We actually had options on both TG and Singapore, but we wanted to do a stop over and I had been to Singapore many times. The TG flights were nice -- on 747's from LHR to BKK and A330's from BKK to DPS. Not a complaint, but at the time worth being aware of is the BKK to DPS is not a lie-flat/new J experience (at least at that time), but still was good. It's only a few hour flight anyway.

From the States, I imagine you'd want to look for flights USA-BKK or SIN and then connect to DPS. I'm sure there are other options too.
