I found very cheap tickets on Air China (GVA - PEK - HKG for 246€ return, L class), but giving only 25% miles on A3.
Is there a way to get more miles while keeping a reasonable price?
Thank you

Departure Airport: GVA (or ZRH, MXP)
Arrival Airport: HKG, TPE (or even SIN, BKK, KUL, CGK - because plenty of low-cost connexions are available)
Miles Needed: As many as possible
Required Spend or Budget: Ideally below 400$, maybe $500.
Available Travel Dates: May - June, around ten days, flexible.
Required Metal or Codeshares okay: Star Alliance operated.
The award miles typically worth 2 cent per mile or less. If you can save money on the ticket, just purchase the cheap ticket and forget how many award miles you will earn.
