Be sure to keep an eye on the premium fare thread. There have been some pretty decent AA deals floating around:
AA PE BOM/MAA-LAX $650-700
AA/CX PEK-LAX $1298
And if you just wanna knock that out in one go (although be careful of fare class R):
SQ PE SIN-EWR ~$1000
AA PE BOM/MAA-LAX $650-700

BOM/MAA LAX should be dead.
SQ PE is not able to credit in AS.

Example of MAA-LAX on SQ: https://goo.gl/flights/24m5u
If you take the link to the SQ website and pick out the PE standard price (instead of PE lite), it prices out to $1380 USD r/t. It’s gonna take a little searching, but we’ll find a way.
