AA SCL-DFW-HKG-DFW-MIA-SCL 22K+ Miles $1121 USD
Just check this deal on Cheap o Air
Sample date was 02/26/2016 to 03/02/2016, you may also take a SCL - DFW - HKG - DFW - SCL for about the same price. Great for a AA Challange.

Excellent use of SWU though. IIRC all flights to SCL now offer the new business class seats, and of course the HKG flights are with the 77W.
Europe-based flyer can nest this interesting fare within one of those well-priced Europe to South America fares (MAD to SCL ~700$, or something). Potentially that's 1800$ and 4 SWU to fly just about 45,000 miles in business class (and almost half way to EXP in two weeks).

I was checking out this deal, and I found it for ~US$1.700 for the round-trip with two stopovers (free) and some peak dates (over Christmas/New Year's) for roughly a three-part trip (as long as you can get down and back to SCL) from the USA...worth thinking about, for sure, but it's a long flight from DFW!

So, just playing around with google flights, I found this. Including the flight from Austin to get into position at SCL, and then returning back to SCL:
AUS-DFW-MIA-SCL (positioning) 8/25
SCL-MIA-ORD-PVG-DFW-SCL 8/26 - 8/30 (night in Chicago, all the rest on the plane)
SCL-DFW-AUS (nearly 12 hour layover in Satiago...can grab a quick hotel nap. 8/30)
Total tickets (two tickets) without fees and taxes were $1,693 (899 for positioning flight, 794 for the middle flight).
That is 4.83 cpm. But, if you are a platinum or higher, double miles, which drops it to 2.37 cpm. 71,400 miles. Even if taxes bring it up to $2k, that is still 2.8cpm.
Is this good, or am I missing something?
