Yup.

Just booked a J award round trip from the west coast to Europe (FRA) for next spring. Found availability on the days I needed to fly (+- 1 day) for 70k. Outbound DE J from SEA, return AA J to CLT and then transcon in domestic F. Hoping to find a better option for the return at some point between now and March, but I locked in the seats for 140k and about $200 in taxes/fees.

And yes, I will be half way to MVP with that trip… assuming current qualification rules (though I suspect in the new program MVP will go up to 25k)
