Sorry, can't help with the R space ... but you'll need to book in a higher class than the referenced trips. Didnt see the desire for an R space MR in the original post ... thats a TOTALLY different problem !
You're right ... the link also include MKE in the origin which is about $20 AI lower. If you want ORD only then use the provided link and remove MKE
You can book 1/2 of the needed 18K for a single ORD-OGG trip around $670AI EACH
(ex) using the provided link, most are reasonable 2hr connections, ~2 hrs in OGG
Sun Dec 03 0810 ORD-SFO-LAX-OGG, 2225 OGG-SFO-PDX-ORD 1629+1
Fri Dec 08 0810 ORD-SFO-LAX-OGG, 2305 OGG-LAX-SFO-ORD 1753+1
Sun Dec 10 similar to above
ORD-SIN is alot cheap, below has 3 & 5hr connections, 4hrs in SIN, $666AI ... many similar in Nov/Dec
(ex)
Sat Nov 04 1600 ORD-LAX-SIN, Mon 1000 SIN-SFO-ORD 1957
Here is another strategy I came up with:
2 Trips ORD-POS via IAH each at $464 for 6974 miles each, so then I would need exactly 4152 miles to reach 1K.
So if I can find something for around $200 to give me 4152 PQM, then that's decent.
Otherwise, I might have to do 2 OGG trips for the total of $664 x 2
