If you’re going to drop about $1000 on airfare to Asia you should probably just do this instead.
Fly from Houston to Tokyo, then take the Shinkansen (Japan’s high-speed bullet train) to Kyoto and Osaka then catch a flight to Jakarta, hang out there for a while before catching a flight to check out Singapore, eat a chili-crab, then finally, after all of that, get on a plane back home to Houston for $1258 flights + $148 rail.
This itinerary makes good use of the fare’s free open-jaw and paid-stopover.
[07/10/2014 @ 1:04 PM] This fare looks dead.
In this post I cover how to construct a complex itinerary with multiple stopovers when buying airfare, and I go in-depth on how stopovers work. If you’ve ever wanted to understand how to get the most out of stopovers and how they work then this article is for you.

Round-trip flights are going for $910 on to either Tokyo (NRT / HND) or Osaka (KIX) which is a pretty good price when you consider that United has the same route priced at an astronomical $1884 for a 1-stop.
[06/16/2014 @ 11:50 AM] Removed from deal list. Fare lacks good routing options and doesn’t accrue miles.
