I also have 50,000 Delta SkyMiles, 55,000 Virgin Atlantic Flying Club Miles, 60,000 UR and 55,000 Amex MR Points.

What is the best use of miles between all these cities with stopovers.
I prefer to fly biz class accross Pacific, and don't mind flying LCC's (Air Asia, JetStar) in economy around Asia. Also, between SIN-KUL and PNH-SGN I will consider taking bus/train service if its cheaper than LCC's.

Thanks!
Use your AA miles to get to one city and from another city, then Transfer the UR miles to United and you can probably pull off allot of the rest of those cities on * Alliance partners with only a couple of mile cheap tickets with some creative stopovers, forced long connections and open jaws. United miles are pure Gold in SE Asia.
