With the dollar getting weaker vs. the yen, Japan will be very expensive.

I'm not having any luck on anything but ITA. I found one on ITA 3.2 CPM over a holiday weekend with a stop in BOS on US so i dont have to position back from PHL. I guess I should have been practicing with AA MR bookings. I just never considered them in the past. Hoping to knock out 1/2 my AS 2015 requal in one trip and maaybe trade a UA 2014 GPUs for Evips

Having US in the thread title gets me all excited......
Only to realize that it includes at most 1 US segment and that US doesn't fly to China. <frown>
Amazing fare though!

Looks like roundtrip mileage for this trip would be around 14,500. If you book with the AAdvantage Citi Mastercard, which gives 2 miles/$ spent on AA flights, that would add another 900 miles (assuming ticket costs $450). So we're looking at approximately 15,400 miles for $450, or 2.9 cents/mile. Does that sound right? I'm new to this. Thanks!

Booked for late early march (March 4-10) Hopefully the weather warms up a bit there. My schedule is packed, but I couldn't resist the deal. It's just too good of a deal. I picked a simpler routing since my partner isn't into traveling and we have to position out of ORD. I hope that my UG clear for this trip. 
Thanks OP

So in this case, it'd be 14,500 (for whichever routing you've got).
If you're counting actual RDM (Redeemable Miles), it would be that.
If you've got status with AA, add your bonus to that and then you've got CPrdM.

In general when talking CPM, CPM = Cost Per Elite Qualifying Mile. (CPeqM)
