Looks like I'll be flying SIN-SFO in late October, connecting to SFO-ORD-YYZ. Assuming I fly the rest of my planned trips and don't book anything else, I'll be about 400 PQM short of Plat.

Since this will be a rare trip on which I don't have a checked bag, I'm hoping to SDC the SFO-ORD-YYZ into something that yields an additional ~500 PQM, whether it's a connection somewhere like EWR or IAD, or by adding a short hop from SFO to LAX or LAS (which, obviously, would yield the 500 PQM minimum) on the front end.

This will be my first time thru SFO on United with status, and I know loads tend to be very high out of SFO. Are ex-SFO SDC options still common enough that I should be able to accomplish this? (This would likely be on a Tuesday.) Thanks.
