Business class here costs only 2070 GBP, and the best part here is that this fare is multi city so you can get even cheaper fares for a variety of routes with a huge lot of flexibility on dates. So you can use a one-way out to Asia, and a return to/from the USA.
These flights are also relatively long too, so the amount of ALASKA MILES credited is amazing
Help me understand the value here. This is a one-way open jaw for ~$2700, correct?
Are there other routes that have bigger value?

For another $400 you can go RT ORD to BKK. And get over 1000 more miles.
Seems like the standard CX fares from ORD to Asia have more value and of more use for most folks.

But neither appears to be 'amazing'.

(I guess is one needed to get from Europe to Asia and then the USA from another country, I guess this has some value, but it is not cheap.)
