Can you fly on another points affiliated airline like UA and add your DL # to the UA locater? How many MILES v/s segments do you need? Often a round trip on special from FL to China, Asia, Australia etc, is easier and cheaper than trying for "segments". FL to SYD for eg is about 20,000 mies r/t. Cost often as low as $800 r/t. UA have on sale this week Chicago to Shanghai for about $US550 r/t for example .. see the UA board.
