UA: NYC-HKG $557/834 AI (Sept/Oct dates)

Looks like UA just cut fares for October. $834 all in for NYC-ORD-HKG and back. With 1P bonus drops to 3.3cpm, for 1Ks 2.5cpm.

Books in to L, booked 10/16-10/22. You can also do a stop in NRT for a few days for $880 ai.

We are seeing EWR to TPE for $546.00 ai for next week. About 3cpm! You have to tweek the days, looks like you need to do a six day trip.

Sept 26-Oct 3 you can get United LGA-ORD-HKG-ORD-LGA for $557. 17,000 miles @ 3.3 cpm

EDIT: MSP-ORD-HKG-ORD-MSP is the same price. Too bad I am doing an SJU run next week

Since this is a great deal, I've included this lower NYC fare in the title.
However the main thread for this very low Asia fare is this one:

I don't consider $800+ mileage runs deals. These are usual off peak fares in the spring or fall seasons. However, they are very well priced compared to high seasons or holidays. Sometimes even during peak times you can find tickets this cheap on Air China or China Eastern to Asia from the US.

Why would something that is 3.5cpm, but $1,000 not a mileage run, but 4cpm at $200 is? That makes no sense whatsoever. With the four or five day minimum stay I'd say that more or less disqualifies it as a mileage run, but the a/i price, no way.

This does not make any sense. Are the $800 tickets on Air China full mileage accruing? China Eastern does not even belong to *A.

By the way, this fare is as low as $557, not $800+.

Yeah, in N/X classes, respectively which don't earn any miles.

It can go lower if you route via HNL, NRT.
Plus, a cr1 goes a long way.
