I much prefer to maximize my time in J. UA's options were mainly EWR-NRT then NRT-BKK (in Y on *A)
I did it the other way CNX-BKK-HKG (overnight at Sky City Marriott) and then HKG-SFO.
Honestly, 2018-20 I don't think I'll make 1K again and be more of a *A free agent but still trying to get it on 016 ticket. With 2 trips each year to Thailand I'll probably fly NH from California since I can book that through UA.
