Flying from west coast gives you about 5000 more miles, get most miles from SFO, a few less than LAX and doing it thru ATL give less. Did SMF ATL NRT SIN NRT ATL SMF in Dec For a MR and got 24,532 MQM in 72 hrs and saved driving to SFO, is about 786 miles less but I got my ticket with FlexPerks points, 70,000, and trip didn't cost any $. FlexPerks is the old NW VIsa card which I Use whenever I can't use AMX. The other benefit of that card is any charitable donations are worth triple point so remember for your donations tun use that card if you can.
