BKK-SIN 1.25
SIN-DEL 2.5
DEL-SIN 2.5
SIN-FRA 5
FRA-JFK 2.5 (must be separate flight number or stopover at FRA)
YVR-ICN 3.75
ICN-SIN 2.5 (must be separate flight number or stopover at ICN)
SIN-BKK 1.25

total 21.25
The OP has 13.5 already. If the suggested routing is reversed: BKK-SIN-DEL-SIN-ICN-YVR-YYC-JFK-FRA-SIN-BKK, the OP will arrive back in Canada as a QPP. Then the next trip JFK-FRA, the OP can use the VS Clubhouse at JFK instead the Swiss lounge. And, before BKK, the OP will be able to go to SKL F section as PPS.
Just my loonies.
