Yeah, redeemed two AA Asia 2 award that included CX on the way out, JL on the way back. Only about 2 months in advance... around the New Years holiday, no less. Open jaw LAX-SIN (CX 885 to some other CX flight) on 12/30/05, BKK-LAX (some TG-operated JL flight to KIX, some JL-operated and coded flight KIX-LAX) around the 11th or so. Booked mid Oct if I recall correctly.
