Well, this is a great discovery. My wife and I shuttle from FL to Thailand in an extreme commuter marriage. The SA awards are unbeatable and I'm now 2 for 2 (see earlier post). This time, my wife will fly BKK-MCO Business Class for
125K MP miles:
BKK-Tokyo on ANA Business
Tokyo-SFO on ANA Business
SFO-MCO on UA 1st
MCO-LAX UA waitlist 1st
LAX-BKK Thai Air Business
Just under $5K USD if pd on UA, but get the considerably better service on ANA and TG flights for $78 in tax and 125K MP miles. Got it on the 1st call. BTW, the UA MP website when searching awards now has a SA award search option online (new) - though it showed no availability online, I just called and got my SA award on my dates, 1st call with no problem. I'll stop my commentary at this point.
