MU: LAX-SIN $1800 USD RT with departures starting late Feb '19
 
CGK: +$100
DPS: +$300

Tons of availability beginning with departures late February all the way through the beginning of May 2019 as seen on kayak.com. The only issue is that it doesn't show booking class. The same flights are available on Expedia, but for ~$80 more, and shows the PVG leg booking in i and the SIN leg in J. I went ahead and played it safe and booked on Expedia. I'm sure others with more experience will know if the sites offered on Kayak book into the same.

These same flights are in the $400 range in Y, if your primary focus is MQM.

By my calcs, MQMs wil be closer to 29,000, as the J-class legs earn 200% vs 150% for I-class.

Yeap, my bad... I assumed I fare all the way so the calcs were off... Correct figure should be 28883 MQMs per GCMap

Long weekend trip end of February. I'm not going to stay in Singapore. My flight arrives at 530am and leaves at 11pm. I'll decide next month where in SE Asia I want to go. Generally flights anywhere in the area are around $75 rt, and I can book with plenty of cushion to not worry about missing a flight. I'll go into Singapore to eat if my MU flights aren't delayed.

I'm looking at my schedule to book another one in late April. That one I will go to Hanoi, as I've never been and it should be warmer by then. I don't handle cold very well.

Yes, both flights do. LAX-PVG-LAX is 1-2-1, and PVG-SIN-PVG is 2-2-2.

Does anyone know if Kayak will book into the same fare class? Only Expedia shows fare class of (I) and (J), but the fare is $1912 vs $1825 on Kayak, which doesn't show the fare class.

Is it possible to book one way in business in and one way in y?

I'm wondering the same thing except I found a ticket on Justfly.com. Anyone use them before and had an issues with miles posting?

I literally just booked that flight for the end of April using Kayak which routed through Justfly. Looking at the fare details I see all flights start with (I), which will post slightly less MQM, which I'm not worried about. I'm going to call MU right now and confirm that the ticket was booked in (I) and that I will receive the full mileage on Delta. I'll report when done.

Just confirmed with MU that using Kayak/Justfly, all the legs book into (I) which will earn the miles @jfkeze posted in his first post. The only issue was my Delta SM# wasn't attached to the reservation, so you have to call anyway and have them add it.
