I am sure it works with some other destinations within Asia and Oceania.

LAX-TPE-BNE-AKL v.v. = USD 1,688

LAX-TPE v.v. in Premium Economy (E - 100%) = 6,781 x 2 = 13,562 miles
TPE-BNE-AKL v.v. in Business (D - 115%) = 6,466 x 2 = 12,932 miles

Total miles earned in CI: 26,494 miles (= 6.37 cents/mile)

Do not have Delta earning since they have not yet posted, but assuming 2014 sticks:

100% Award Miles = 6,781 x 2 + 5,623 x 2 = 24,808 miles -and-
75% MQM = 5,086 x 2 + 4,217 x 2 = 18,606 miles (= 9.07 cents/miles)

You get a layover over of 11 hours on the way back where you can head out to Taipei.
