Departure Airport: DTW/LAN/GRR/YYZ (or very easily able to reposition otherwise, particularly on an outbound leg, and particularly to the east coast)
Miles Needed: as many as possible, but at least 14500
Required Spend or Budget: as low as possible; best I currently have is AF stock DTW-SIN for ~$1500.
Available Travel Dates: Aug 21-26, but ideally back early on the 26th.
Required Metal or Codeshares okay*: ability to potentially apply some GUCs would be nice, but whatever is necessary.
Don't have a Chinese visa, unfortunately. Thanks in advance; bad parameters but figured I'd shoot.
A consideration: LAX-PVG-SIN (return), China Eastern, Aug 22 - 24 or 23 - 25, $715, almost 20,000 MQMs (50% bonus on B class fares for the PVG-SIN-PVG portion), Chinese visa not required. Bookable on Expedia.com
