1) HKT - HKG (KA J) - HND (CX F) // NRT - ORD (JL F) - RDU (AA F) x2 @67.5k - booked 6 weeks ago and just returned from this over the weekend
2) RDU - JFK (AA Y) - LHR (AA J) x3 @50k for this summer (booked a few weeks ago when there was wide open availability on AA J over the pond including 3 seats on the same flight)
Account now is at ~5k. Pretty pleased with the outcome and was able to max out the 10k annual redemption rebate from BarclayCard in the process to make the miles stretch a little further.
Still have a big stash of AS which is what I'll focus on though AA does have some value particularly in J so I won't abandon them entirely for CC or flying (for now).
