CX J is 50K to SE Asia. 62.5K to South Africa. I booked and flew YVR-HKG//HKG-SIN in January with the 50K bonus AS gave me for reaching 75K. Thank you Alaska. I also flew CX J JNB-HGK//HKG-BOS in February for 62.5K. At T-11 I was able to upgrade HKG-BOS to F for 7.5K and $3.85.
I am looking at BA F from LHR to the West Coast that books into A class for ~$2500 return. As an MVPG75K it credits 575% (66,022) RDM & 250% (27,296) EQM. - adjusted for earnings on domestic segments. Even for non-status, one return gets you MVP and two returns gets you MVPG in comfort.
