Hi all, long time lurker/reader.
My wife and I have finally booked our first Suites trip from Singapore to JFK in October next year. But we are wondering what the best use of miles would be on the return leg. We have approx. 100k miles to use and can purchase a little extra if needed. So far we've come up with using them to fly from LAX to Singapore on business which goes through Tokyo.
Off hand I think this needs about 130k miles. After realising this stops over in Tokyo, is there any way of extending the stopover when purchasing reward seats? Using the website there is an option for a 40hr stopover but we could use an extra day in Japan just to make it worthwhile.
So my questions are a) Is there any other better ways to use my miles for the trip home, and b) if we did the LA-Japan-Sing leg, is it possible to extend the stopover?
