A few days ago, I mentioned in a post that flights from Houston (IAH) to Singapore (SIN) were available via Korean Air + Cathay Pacific for $623 round-trip and that it had ridiculously long layovers and reduced mileage accrual on Korean Air. That fare allows stopovers for $100 each, which means that you could easily take the long layovers and turn them into stopovers. This will allow you to spend several days (or a week) in each city and really makes the itinerary much more interesting that just visiting Singapore on a regular round trip.
Converting the layovers into stopovers to create a multi-city itinerary is pretty easy on Orbitz. Be sure to select Cathay Pacific and Korean Air as your preferred airline and select “Multi-City” for your flight instead of “Round-trip”.
