NYC-REP on UA and something else?
Looking to book 4 awards NYC-REP or BKK or RGN in Feb'16.
There's availability via ICN on OZ.
UA prices the itinerary at 160K miles + $40.
My balances are
UA 88K
Chase 230K.
So I can get 2 awards on UA.
Not sure how to get the other 2 awards.
I have 270K in MR and 220K in City TY.
It would seem to make sense to book it on SIN.
AC prices out the award at 155K + $500.
I can't get pricing on ANA or SIN, but probably similar?
Or is there a better way?

look at options for routes to BKK, KUL and SIN too, as can take quick very low cost (less than $100 and often less than $50) airline trips on Air Asia, Jetstar etc to REP, RGN and so on

I paid $80 US for SIN-REP one way on Jetstar, including me paying for a checked bag. Definitely can recommend the above poster's method, and of course OP it allows you to visit another place more easily if so desired.

Although I personally would pay 20K more to fly a better carrier TPAC.
