Those are going to be tough to beat on a cost per mile basis. Came out to about $45-ish all in RT. We did six (6) of them to LEB.

Some others of my favorite (though we stayed a while instead of turning them):

- LAX-TPE $96 RT all in on MH Business Class (DL miles)
- LAX-NAN $51 RT all in on FJ (AA miles at the time)
- USA-Europe $20+ RT on BA in WT+ (AA miles, about $95 all in depending on country)

I think the MH one was the best value. With C class bonus, that thing netted some 20K DL miles, and it was a great ride in MH C.
