you should be able to do the trip for pretty close to the same price with a lot more mileage. Try ord-sfo-lax-hnl-nrt-hkg-sin then going back sin-hkg-nrt-sfo-ord.</font>
Correct me if I'm wrong, but that only seems to come up to 22,536 status miles. That's about a 20% increase over ORD-SIN-HKG-ORD (18,738), but a 250% increase in segments--which I view as a roughly 250% increase in the chance of delayed flights.
