Hello all,

Forgive me if there is a similar thread to this already, but if not I think it would be useful to have a compiled thread of deals on partner flights that present good value for mileage running towards AS status going forward. There is a similar forum on this site (Premium Fare Deals for those not in the familiar) but the purpose is this thread would be to compile AS specific partners into one thread here.

This is subjective, but this is how I have come to see excellent c/eqm deals with partner flights:

.04$/eqm = Superb ($3,000 for 75K)
.06$/eqm = Excellent ($4,500 for 75k)
.08$/eqm = Good ($6,000 for 75k).
.10$/eqm = Decent, especially if buying J fares on QR ($7,500 for 75k).

In general, the best deals seem to be ex-EU J fares on BA/IB and ex-US Y+ deals to Southeast Asia on AA/JL/SQ. ex-Asia J and ex-US J can present good value at times. The caveat of course is this is in a world where we can once again travel freely post-COVID.

For the maximizers, one can utilize MatrixITA to get some stupid creative routings not normally available through google flights. Example: Instead of flying LAX - LHR direct on BA, fly LAX - SFO - JFK - LHR for often same price using Matrix ITA. I'm sure posters will be happy to help with this if people are interested.
