We are trying to earn enough miles use miles to obtain the tickets, not purchase them with cash, so the EVA codeshare is out.

How easy was it to arrange your trip with AA miles? Obviously there was some give-and-take involved as you were in F (not that I would complain), but it sounds like you were looking for C.

The 747s only have old style seats. If you take CX you will have to connect through HKG. The service on EVA was comparable to that on CX and is cheaper with no connections. Just make sure you get the code-share. EVA will credit to CO but not to NW.

I've used AA miles to get to TPE as well but not in C as it was completely booked. Had to go with F on AA to NRT and then down to TPE on EG. Home was on CX through NRT and then AA.
