How does one go about getting EXP with $6k in business class tickets? Flying business on AA metal doesn't seem that efficient because it is raw dollar spend whereas OW partners are based on miles. Business on OW still gets 1.5X EQM and only slightly higher 0.25X EQD, which isn't really much better than premium economy for the extra cost difference.
I assume you want EXP for the lounges and upgrades. Spending your hypothetical $6k on business class tickets for flights you actually want to take instead of going back and forth to Jakarta seems like a better plan to me.
