Most AQM for least $ in J
Was in a discussion over coffee this AM and one person asked if there was an easy way to find high AQM routes, relative to fare, in business class.
I thought about this for a few minutes but really had no better answer than punching in various routes on Google Flights and restricting the carrier to AC. (I did tell them that TPE was likely a good choice or connection airport).
So, that being said, on AC.com you can also pull fares that include other carriers, both *Alliance and other.
This all left me not knowing the best answer to the question.

https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/premium-fare-deals-740/ is usually a good starting point.
I'm doing another ~$1050 CAD P fare round-trip to MUC this weekend.

So while it might not be the absolute cheapest, doing just 4 r/t to more than clear SE and spending a bunch of that time sleeping in a pod or whatever is great.

In years past, when AC/UA/LH offered J (well, P) super seat sales from Canada to South Africa, you could get 26k+ AQM under $4000 all in. I think this past year that sale fare was never quite that good, but still a pretty good ratio.

Okay if you are throwing around numbers that are above 10 Canadian cents per AQM, you are not helping Dorian.
Under 10 is relatively easy.
Under 5 is where the fun starts.

However, not sure what the point is if you need 20,000 AQDs anyway. Apart from reaching xMM status quicker, of course.
