Creative Use of UA, AA, Avios Miles for interasia
Those who have been following my posts know that I am flying to Asia next year. Arriving HKG, departing from DPS.
In between I want to go to PEK, NRT, REP, and HKT
What's the best way to do this? I can use UA,AA, and Avios points. It seems that this seems to be the best so far; any thoughts?
HKG-NRT on CX or JAL using Avios (10k/ea/E)
NRT-PEK[STOPOVER]-[ICN]-REP (15K/ea/E/United Mileage Plus)
REP-HKT, can't find SA or OW availability so I can purchase for $219/ea from Malaysia Air
HKT-DPS Avios (14,500 Avios)
Is there a better routing I am missing? I realize I can go NRT-PEK(stop)-HKT using United mileage plus and then get from HKT-REP on my own (seems pricey on Bangkok air right now; but can use Air Asia I think), and then go from REP-DPS using (more) Avios too but I'm not sure that is better minus the fact that I wouldn't have to have a layover in ICN. I think I can also fly right to NRT from the US and get to HKG on my way from HKT to DPS using UA/mileage plus/HKT-HKG(stop)-SIN-DPS.
Anything I'm missing here?? Thanks
