How is it obvious? You said for Asian AS Members OR those wanting to try JL J and AA premium TCON. Those are different demographics. I was just adding additional information for the AS demographic that may not follow what is obvious to you. Additional information is better than assumptions.
A decent price for sure.
Quite attractive actually.
CGK-TYO-LAX with AA to BOS throwaway: $2,444
EQM 23685 10.77 CPM
EQM 22685, RDM 40,833 RDM Non Elite 5.99 cpm
EQM 22685, RDM 49,907 RDM MVP 4.90 CPM
EQM 23685, RDM 58,981 RDM GOLD 4.14 CPM
EQM 23685, RDM 63,518 RDM 75K 3.84 CPM.
CGK-TYO-BOS $2,438
EQM 25778 9.46 CPM
EQM 25778, RDM 46,400 RDM Non Elite 5.25 CPM
EQM 25778, RDM 56,711 RDM MVP 4.30 CPM
EQM 25778, RDM 67,022 RDM Gold 3.63 CPM
EQM 25778, RDM 72,177 RDM 75K 3.38 CPM.
Interestingly, the non AA itinerary yields enough EQM to achieve AS MVP status if starting from scratch. RDM adds up quickly.
Do this twice, attain MVPG and have 103,111 RDM enough for a J return on CX to NA or 4 intra-asia J flights. Hint: For JL awards DEL is considered SE Asia. SIN-TYO-DEL in J for 25K.
