My plan is to redeem a return ticket between LAX and CTU (inland China), which needs 1+ stop (either PEK, PVG or somewhere else). But according to my research on Krisflyer website, there is no redeem option for it in its Mileage Calculator. Could you give any suggestion?

Many thanks.
Welcome to FT, OP.

Unlike others, I will suggest you take advantage of *A partner award instead (regardless class of service).

Based on what others said, SQ YQ is killing the purpose of travel with SQ. I did a random search and found out that a SQ Q Class costs almost the same as YQ redemption. In that case, what's the point of using miles?

Since YQ is carrier dependent, by choosing alternative carrier (like CA, UA). You can effectively save hundred of dollars.
