I'm trying to optimize LAX/SFO-DPS for miles (on UA MP) and to have at least 1 long enough stopover to explore the city/cities. Dates are not fixed.
Is this the best I can do with 16h in SIN: https://flights.app.goo.gl/q48S ? Any way to get a HKG stopover in there also? Thanks

So you can fly SFO-SIN-HKG-SIN-SFO and stay as long as you want in any of the intermediate cities. That's over 20k miles. Eg for $981: https://flights.app.goo.gl/QWCjt.
You can also drop one off the SIN stops and do a direct SFO-HKG or HKG-SFO flight if you just want to visit each city once. Fewer miles, of course.
These fares expire on Jan 22 so don't wait too long to pull the trigger!!

There is a SFO-HKG rt fare that allows free stopovers in SIN.

I asked this question on the SQ forum, but got no response. Maybe it's more relevant to this thread 
You can fly non-stop SFO-SIN; it's on the Airbus (359).
You can also fly with a short stop in HKG (same flight number and equipment; presumably same plane and no need to deplane) on the 77W.
Non-stop is probably preferable here (otherwise I'm flying SFO-HKG-SIN-HKG-SIN-HKG-SFO) but some have said that the premium economy seats in the 77W are significantly better (wider, more legroom, more recline).
Is the product so much better that it's worth the ridiculous routing? I only really want one stop in SIN so I might be looking at HKG-SIN-HKG-SFO in one day to get home.

This ticket price appears to be a Premium Economy Lite fare. The SQ website states the transpacific segment is cannot be upgraded using mile. Does anyone know if this is case?
