If you want a simple mileage run grab a MU JFK SIN in Y... But there are some that like to MR in comfort...
Plus c'mon under $2000 TPAC from the East Coast...
I agree, it is a deal, just not a mileage run for AS as the OP suggests especially if you aren't already in JFK. It is splitting hairs.
MU doesn't credit to AS so that is moot. Nobody said you had to fly Y for a mileage run. Did they?
You can do an RTW, EWR-SIN-LAX-EWR in SQ PE with AS Y LAX-EWR for $1275. EQM 20,730 miles at 6.15 cpm. As an MVPG75K you would earn 46,643 RDM at 2.73 cpm. If we value AS miles at 2 cpm that is equivalent to a $932.86 rebate on a $1275.00 fare effectively flying around the world for $324.14.
Alternatively, you could purchase 4000 miles for $110.00+tax and use the 50K RDM to fly one-way in CX J to China saving how much?
