That is called the oneworld Multi-Carrier Award Chart and is based on total mileage. You need to have at least 2 non-CX, non-KA oneworld carriers (so probably choose two from AA, BA, IB, and AY), and you can have up to 5 stopovers (which can also be used as transits), 2 transits, and 2 open-jaws. It is based on total mileage. Refer to the bottom of https://www.asiamiles.com/en/redeem-...ard-chart.html and https://www.asiamiles.com/en/terms-a...er-awards.html. At 47k miles, this is not for OP.

By the way, for OP's reference, if you desperately want to use up your miles and don't quite have enough, you can top up at 2000 mi per 60USD if you have at least 70% of the required miles. Check https://www.asiamiles.com/en/account...-up-miles.html for details. Not a good deal, but if you are just shy of a bit, maybe it helps.

AM operates on a one-way basis now, so redeeming a one-way cost just 50% of round-trip. You can also do mix class (like economy + premium economy) and the mileage required will be calculated proportionally.
