The good news is that by setting the UA.com location to Vietnam/English, and then using the multicity search to specify the exact legs [SGN-TYO/TYO-EWR], I am able to obtain the flights for a grand total of 695 USD. This is a bit more than I had expected and I cannot explain why the 530 fare is not selected.

The bad news is that I have a feeling the payment page will demand that my credit card billing country is in Vietnam.

Some credit card companies don't check if the billing country is correct ...
