For JX flights, it requies 37500 miles + $42 tax for one person
For JL flight, it requies 15000 miles + $39 tax for one person
It seems JX would release more than 1 award seat for short haul flight but likely that only 1 would be saver award

in CX Asiamiles, there are both Y/J award seats
in BA Avios, both Y and J award seats are available
But in AS booking system, only Y award seat would be shown

Also, 10k AS miles for shorthaul Starlux Y+ is pretty good value IMO.

I know everyone is wailing and gnashing their teeth while rending garments about CX F and the beatdown on West Coast J/F pricing, etc. (quite legitimately!) but there's still value to be found.
Also.. CX isn't fixed yet (but I did find a shorthaul J seat):
Wonder if SQ J will make a reappearance now that AS pricing isn't as competitive on longhaul...

Yep, AKL-SYD for 7.5k in Y, 10k in Y+ and 15k in J is a thing now.

I think that’s the same pricing VS has for syd-akl. And Avios pricing is pretty similar as well. Both easier to acquire currencies with transfer bonuses so it’s never been something I wish Alaska had a competitive rate on since other partners already cover this use case.

Anyone know if they are still doing updates for QF? I was looking at booking a trip with QF where it was two legs mixed with one leg in business and the other leg in economy. I see on AS that both legs are available separately but I can no longer book the two legs together in mixed classes. Before when it was 20k miles I could book it mixed but now that business has updated to 15k for this route I can no longer book both together.

Looks like Fiji award chart has been updated.
Snagged a ticket two days ago LAX-NAN for 55k. Called in tonight to add NAN-SYD, price has gone up by 20k.
On the upside (I guess), LAX-NAN-SYD is 7488 miles but still prices at the 5-7k band.
