More specifically I am looking for a MR ex SIN-NYC in J in late April (26th is the best date but flexible by a few days) that will earn me good AA miles and is not completely expensive. I have been trying to glean ways, and have spent many hours learning from threads I read on Flyertalk but I realize my time is getting limited and good airfares are getting sparse. My reasoning is that a few years ago I had repositioned myself and used the great ex HKG flights opportunities found on FT. My last one ends in SIN so I figured a stay a few days and then do a "Mileage Run", from SIN to maximize EQM and bank some EQD's enroute back to NYC. As an aside I barely made EXP this year and only because I paid up. It was one of my own bucket list moments and I know it was not the most logical move to make but I thought just once. So lounge viewing would be an extra added bonus I have been combing the info on Flyertalk, I dream an incredible opportunity comes up that gives me cheap and cheerful and some amazing connections/layovers in the Middle East to explore enroute home but I am also willing to just get home as basically as possible. Any suggestions on ways to find ex HKG or SIN (or reposition in Asia) flights are appreciated.
