Routing advise (MNL/CGK/HAN/SGN)-KIX-MEL via SIN, under 13k miles

[Evan]

Well it time for another personal trip....
And i just wondering if anybody else can make this work....

DAS13 (max 8 sectors, max 13,000 miles)

I am based in Singapore, i will purchase return ticket ex-SIN to start location, due to cost the real possible locations i can see is... Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia. Japan and Tiawan are not cheap.

Stops....
- KIX (i could train it from NRT if no good flight options)
- MEL
- SIN

Can it be done in less than 13,000 miles ? I can't really see much hope, most routings would push it into the 17k product, but then if anybody has any creative max miles routings for 17k also welcome.

An example of what i was thinking....
MNL-NRT-KIX-NRT-SYD-MEL-SIN-HKG-MNL

Open to combining with a DONE4 etc. Even thinking a DONE4 starting from say Europe and maxing Asia segments could make the same result....

So any creative ideas are welcome. (If it helps i will be in Vietnam in June on other business so maybe i can change my return or something similar on that trip. I will be in SGN)

At the rate the Rand is tanking and the AUD is surging, you might want to reconsider ex-South Africa. A DONE5 there is very attractively priced - ZAR45 300 now converts to A$6103.29 (per xe). Even after throwing in the cost of getting to South Africa, you'd still come out substantially ahead of DAS + DONE4.

I don't know how difficult or easy it is to get that CX flight to JNB on points. Otherwise you could do bmi DC cash and miles redemption SQ SIN-CPT one way in J for 18 750 miles and GBP127.50 cash. You can buy up to 20 000 miles per year. End cost will be no more if not cheaper than buying a one way ticket there in whY. Even cheaper if you've already got 9000 miles sitting in your account.

Plus you could make a holiday out of a visit to CPT.

But get in quick before the 1st June deadline so u get all 20 segments.

Too true... a DONE4 ex MNL/CGK/SGN etc is also only around $7320
I was more wondering aloud if i could make the same trips are part of a xONEx... which i am sure i can.

JNB-HKG-SIN-NRT-SIN-MEL before heading to the US works... i can easily use QF points for the MEL-SIN segment.

I also need about 350 SC's before end on July.
