Seriously? 70K in CX F one way to Asia or Africa, including a stopover in Hong Kong is terrible when AA charges you 110K for the same CX F just to Asia, without a stopover?

Same on the JL chart.

Either you are wanting others not realize how valuable AS miles are, or you (I hope not) dont even know how to read AS partner charts. or never actually look at AS charts.

Or, may be you rather pay 110K for F just so you can fly AA coach to a gateway city, versus AS redeemers only pay 70K for F and just buy a ticket to the gateway, plus enjoy a stopover in either HKG or TYO. Does not take much of gray matter to see which way is better. YMMV though.

The more people stay with AA the happier for those who use AS miles - pay less fly further, and enjoy a stopover.
