Also the cost is 260k+ which exceeds the maximum of 250k/ per person I can afford.
I'm OK with the 777's out of LAX (-NRT-SIN) and SFO (-HKG-SIN); it's just getting from IAD to LAX/SFO on the same booking that's proving challenging.
I would say you are unlikely to find any IAD-LAX/SFO on UA with Krisflyer. UA and SQ have the worst relationship within Star Alliance and UA does not release many if any awards to partners.
you can do SFO-HKG-SIN-CGK, then CGK-SIN(stop)-NRT(stop)-LAX paying 2 X US$100.
