$827
MKE-ORD-SFO-ICN-PNH "V" fare (I upgraded using SWU)
Last segment on Asiana so in coach
SGN-HKG-ORD-MKE "K" stuck in coach
I did early FEB, not sure of other dates.

When you post these you should include the airline name in the title (assumed UA because of SFO & ORD) and post a sample itinerary and/or dates showing how you constructed the fare you posted.
But $827 for half in BusinessFirst is a great deal. Nice find.

Thanks for posting this, thepla! ^
I was able to book LAX-SFO-ICN-PNH-ICN-SFO-LAX for $1070.60 per person (x2 pax). It appears that this routing can go as much as $100 lower, but not on dates that worked for us.
This booked into V class for the UA flights (LAX-SFO-ICN and return), with confirmable R space at time of ticketing. ICN-PNH-ICN appears to be in W class, which earns 70% mileage to M+.
All in all, a great use (IMHO) of GPUs to vacation in Asia - mostly in biz - over American Thanksgiving!

Had mine all booked last night NYC-PNH w a stop in Japan on the way back for March/April (all R space avail to ICN and back from KIX), but then realized my GPU's all expire in January and sadly cancelled. A great find IMO w/ V fare for the UA segments.
