Thanks. This seems like a tricky destination to fly to. I may consider the SkyTeam reward option. That J reward seems like a good deal (especially compared to published fares). But if I'm spending 30,000 for that, and I willing to do the transpacific in coach, it seems like maybe I'd be better off redeeming 60,000 miles for the whole trip (if seats are available, of course).

If anyone knows of any discounted airfares from the major Asian cities to Vladivostok, or even from Moscow to Vladivostok, I'd much appreciate it.
