TIL, thank you! - Cathay miles for AY awards has never popped up on the TT alerts I receive (or I just don't look closely enough) - are they comparable in miles/fees to AA awards?
Yep!
I flex AA to India on Qatar for 75,000 AA miles then AY back.
India to USA in J was only 89,000 Asia Miles each (one way). Fees weren’t too bad ($85). 2 seats each way.
Im sure Europe to USA would be less.
I mainly use Cathay as an Amex MR transfer partner. A lot more economical than BA.
