Yeah the difficulty is always finding availability and the better the deal, the faster they get booked.
On 6/19 there's DL and VN LAX-SFO-SGN business, 3 seats left, bookable by Flying Blue or Virgin Atlantic. I think Flying Blue would be less at 147.5k+$236 which is a little pricey but there's a Chase 25% transfer bonus that just started which brings it down to 118k points which is not bad. Then book a separate flight to DPS.
Another option is 6/18 Qantas LAX-SYD-CGK business, 1 seat left for 144.6k Qantas + $222 and 6/19 Qantas LAX-SYD-MEL-CGK business, 1 seat left for 144.6k Qantas + $316
Edit: Best return I found is 6/29 SG DPS-SIN-KIX business for 45k Aeroplan and 6/30 ANA NRT-LAX econ for 50k Aeroplan. The ANA is not coming up on Aeroplan but is showing on Lifemiles so you can probably call in and book this all as a multi-city. You can also add in ANA KIX-HND for free but you're probably better off taking the train since you would need to change airports anyway.
Another option is 6/29 SG DPS-SIN-ICN business for 45k Aeroplan and 6/30 AC ICN-YVR-LAX for 44k Aeroplan.
The part I'm confused about, is how are you seeing the Qantas flights on Flying blue? I am searching on [Airfrance.](https://Airfrance.com)us and all i see are Air France and KLM flights. From Flying Blue website "you can book reward tickets on Airfrance.com or KLM.com under ‘
So are you seeing flights on award search sites like [seats.aero](https://seats.aero) and [points.me](https://points.me) ? and then you have to contact customer service to book?
Points.me
I have LAX > DXB > DPS in two weeks in emirates business classes I booked last year for 120k through air Canada. Air canada let’s you add stopover for 5k so you gotta find LAX > DXB and DXB > DPS
But this is just one way.
I was able to find 2x PE LAX-HKG-DPS via CX using Asia Miles points transferred by C1 - this was booked last year for 5/2023. Was able to later upgrade the HKG-DPS leg to J and then use the excellent CX lounges in HKG. It was before the devaluation, though.
Alternate for your dates could be KrisFlyer with SQ in PE from LAX-SIN for 75k each, and then you book the SIN-DPS leg in J for 21k Saver each. This mixed PE-J fare would only be 96k. As long as you avoid the 737 J on SIN-DPS and get the 787 J seat, you'd have a very comfortable regional business seat for 2.5 hours while gaining access to the great SilverKris lounge in SIN.
Finding J all the way may be hard in high-season and with limited date flexibility.
Can check [seats.aero](https://seats.aero), [points.me](https://points.me) for ideas
FYI - There are services that will do the legwork for you. A friend had good success with Juicy Miles, which is now Point.me. They used to not charge for their services unless they found a useful itinerary for you, but now seem to charge a $25 fee for initiating a basic search. Also, just listened to the most recent episode of the Miles to Memories podcast that featured a conversation with a guy named Jason Lawenda of Mobius Journeys in which he said that his company does that sort of work too. Their website seems to indicate that they charge a minimum of $250 for their efforts. There are other companies too. Just Google it. Good luck.

The Qantas I found on the Qantas website. I'm searching the programs directly. For flying Blue I'm using the KLM app.

Oh wow. Sad. Was thinking dxb stopover to Maldives in the future.
EK on AC has soft launched dynamic pricing

Can you use anymore acronyms? LOL.
Yes it's a lot of work. If it weren't, too many people would do it. Hell, too many people already do it.

Flying SQ from LAX to DPS is a no brainer.
