Sorry, did not realize you were just transiting thru Singapore.
Some options that come to mind:
(i) SQ 1 from SFO to HKG, Asiana 722 from HKG to ICN - This particular flight on Asiana offers first class. About 6 hours connection time. I believe LAX
was just a transit point in the original itinerary.
(ii) SQ 1 all the way to Singapore and then spend about 12+ hours in Singapore.
(iii) If want to try NH first suite on LAX suite, why not NRT-ICN on UA or
Asiana. From ICN, continue to Singapore and then back to PVG.
Asiana has one flight in the morning with first class. UA will offer better connections but UA first class might not be the best. However given the short flight between NRT-ICN and the excellent first class lounge, UA might
not be a bad option.
(iv) Consider introducing hangzhou in your trip. HGH and PVG are not considered same destination for the purpose of RTW. So you can get really creative. Example:
Go back to HGH from ICN, take a break. Afterall you have 12 months
to complete the trip. At a later time take a side trip from HGH to
anywhere in Asia or Australia/NZ (miles permitting).
Alternatively start your trip from HGH, continue from ICN to PVG and do a side trip later.
