But hey that would be interesting.....HKG-SFO-JFK-DOH-CAN for a few thousand miles...
I just read that here:
https://thepointsguy.com/2017/05/all...miles-program/
Itinerary/Length/Class of Service: Los Angeles-Hong Kong-Sydney/7,488 miles/premium economy
Carrier(s): Cathay Pacific
Award Chart: Standard
Cost: 48,000 miles and $140
Because there is no stopover in the itinerary, Asia Miles prices the ticket based on the distance from origin (LAX) to destination (SYD). This means you only pay 8,000 more miles to fly Cathay Pacific premium economy compared to economy for the transpacific journey.
Curious how he got the 48k price.
