Hmm I would love to bid this when it comes to my city (SFO). My coworkers routinely pay $3,500 USD via company contract w/ CX for round trip SFO-HKG in J, while normal people (traveling for pleasure) have to fork over $6500. $3,500 is probably the most I would pay, so I don't mind paying a $2000 PE ticket and bid $900~1,000 USD per flight to get to J. (<$4,000 round trip J ticket is a good deal).
If anyone has any success in long-haul, please let me know!
