Beg, borrow, or steal 90,000 Star Alliance miles, fly SQ (including the LAX-SIN non-stop at least one way), and fit in another Asian jewel or two on your trip: Bangkok, Hong Kong, Tokyo, etc. Less than 24 hours in any city along the way doesn't count as a stopover and you get the destination plus one full stopover (more than 24 hours) with the award. So, view it as Singapore+ for the price of Singapore. On the best airline in the world!
