Help with a *A Itinerary DEN-DRW
Ok, so I want to accumulate and fly on *A -- any recommendations on a DEN-DRW itinerary? Using the *A website, DRW is not served by any carriers, but I am looking for advice on connections and service to DRW to maximize my *A travel (I will be traveling on a business ticket) and comfort.
Presently, I see that the most logical is:
UA: DEN-SFO/LAX-SYD
QF: SYD-DRW
I certainly wanted to try NZ's product, but it does not look favorable with 3 stops. I would like to keep it to a 2 stop trip.
Any help / sharing of experiences is appreciated.

Try SQ to SIN and then grab a ultra cheap fare SIN-DRW return on SQ's LCC offshoot Tiger Airways. More miles to SIN, only 1 or 2 stops en-route and, well, if it's a choice of SQ v UA.................say no more. 
Tiger's fares will also be a heck of a lot cheaper from SIN - DRW than what you would be able to get on QF SYD - DRW more than likely.
**** If you are travelling 01FEB-31MAR next year, Tiger announced today they are giving away 20,000 $0 fares [pay for taxes] via their website. That includes the DRW-SIN sector. Be quick - only on offer 17-19 Dec. Still several $0 fares coming up in both directions as available on scattered dates through Feb - didn't go through March.
Even if you can't get a $0 fare on the day you want, there are plenty of SGD79 and up fares in each direction on offer. ****
Cheers.

If you want to get as close as possible to DRW on *A, another option would be to fly DEN-SFO/LAX-AKL-CNS on UA/NZ then connect to DRW on QF
