With *A, there is better availability in J to Asia from LAX. You could do SFO-LAX-NRT-SIN-BOM in J beginning 11/24 and arriving 11/26. You may have to look for these by segments. The return could be BOM-SIN-ICN-LAX-SFO, beginning 12/5 and arriving 12/7. Again you may have to look segment by segment. You would fly with UA, NH, SQ, and OZ. Your issue is that you would need 240K *A miles for 2 pax. USAir does not allow one-ways, so in order to use US you would need 120K for a RT for 1 pax which is 20K short of what you have. These could come from your SPG points. For the other pax, use your UA miles for either the inbound or outbound and find a way to come up with another 60K to complete the RT. Maybe transfer the remaining 30K SPG points to UA and apply for Chase CC to come up with rest.
