Fare 1: Carrier AA J1A NYC to SIN (rules)
Passenger type ADT, one-way fare, booking code J
Covers JFK-LHR (Business), LHR-SNN (Economy), SNN-LHR (Economy), LHR-SIN (Business)
$8,363.14 (this is the base fare without any fees or taxes)
As an EXP, what in the world am I going to earn on this in EQMs and RDMs? Frankly, I haven't the foggiest idea of how to figure out what I'm going to earn for the AA leg (JFK-LHR)!
Why don't you do this ? Based on J1A fare basis.
JFK-LHR (Business - AA)
LHR-SNN(Economy - EI or BA codeshare)
SNN-LHR(Economy - EI or BA codeshare)
LHR-KUL (Business - AA codeshared on MH)
KUL-SIN (Business - AA codeshared on MH)
Total fare is :
$8039.00 Base fare + 374.70 Taxes = $8413.70
This seems to be the cheapest option maximising on AA flights.
If you split the ticket from JFK-LHR/LHR-KUL-SIN (and separate LHR-SNN-LHR) it works out around $400 more expensive.
