Since I'm at 200k EQM's on AA this year with my Sept 1st flight (BKK-NRT-LAX) the rest of the year is in awards-CX & JL business class.
I have used standard coach awards to help teachers get to the schools in China that I hired for, as many times the one way fares were too high, often more than RT's.
And, I use my UA and sometimes AA miles for intra Asia segments where the fare or sched is not good on rev tickets, or I'm just not in the mood for an AirAsia experience.
