I'm willing to take a 1 stop layover, but then am stuck seeing only flights that arrive and return all in a 2hr bank...

Any alternatives to get skypesos to/from Japan? AM and MU come to mind, but I feel like I'll have a hard time getting full MQD credit?
Any luck with getting non-codeshare flights issued by DL?

Open to any creative suggestions...

Thanks!
If you're considering MU all the way to PVG and then back to Japan, I presume you'd be open to Korean Air via ICN as DL's Joint Venture with Korean Air (KE) is in effect now and KE flights earn RDMs, MQMs, and MQDs.
