SQ421 can I suggest you something like this. I'm not sure if the HKG-ORD will operate in time with your schedule, but instead of going to JFK.

Or you can change BOS to JFK (fly the 3 class transcon to LAX) This will push over 59k BIS miles
This will work over the summer when the ANC flights are operating....

61k BIS
while 61k BIS miles are tempting, I'm also trying to tweak the RTW to include more two class flights within North America (the business class then books in first) to earn more status credits on QF (while sacrificing 2k or so BIS miles).
Swapping SJU with BOS in the itinerary you suggested, nets 2070 Status Credits (30 SC short of making Partner Gold) and 59962 BIS miles as compared to 1980 SC and 61345 BIS miles.
As always, its an interesting conundrum to have, especially as the North America part of this RTW is purely for maximizing SC's for me, and there aren't really any places that I need to be at at this stage, whilst planning this RTW.
