We are using one SWU each soon for Anchorage-DEN-BOS-LAX-SYD, which must be around 15,000 miles.
I guess it would have been an awesome use of SWU, pending clearance, for SIN-NRT-SFO-ICN!!! However, to have that on one PNR, the price jumped quite a bit to more than the two ticket total price. So that was a no go for me. I am now working on a route via NRT, a more sane and actually proving to be a cheaper solution.

BOS-IAD-SIN (destination) - NRT-ICN (stopover) - NRT-SFO-IAD-BOS. It's pricing out as cheaper than buy two separate ticket, one with stopver in NRT (BOS-SIN RT) and NRT-ICN. The only problem is that I am having massive technical issue on .bomb so I have been on the phone with an agent to save 186 dollars. This time could have been better spent.
