If you are going for PLT
you want the most eqm and eqd you can get. The lax to pty is good for $1000 and ends up with about 18000 eqm. Also, coach international will get you eqm’s but you also have to think about dollars spent.if money isn’t a concern, book a biz class flight to Asia on a partner. There is a thread right now on ORD-MLE/CMB.
