There is also the CPT-LAX run on QR J for $2460 that cures most ailments...

(that is quite a bit for a MR run to JNB, btw--$2,301)
And I thought $1800 was too much.

For a 22,000-mile flight in Premium Economy?

Then you get to take another $130 off with AARP....and then ANOTHER 10%with using the Chase BA Card.....

You'll get $4,400 EQD.


Sounds like an amazing deal to me!

All the dates I looked at, the $1800 was after the AARP discount. And, only about 2.3x EQD's whereas the ARN to West Coast PE deals are 3x+.

As I said, if you need to do it in one trip, the JNB fares are the way to go.

I'm currently at 9,346 EQD and 90,315 EQM. Looking ahead at travel that I know that I'll have to do, I'm likely going to end up with EQD roughly at (or just under) 11k while EQM will be well clear of 100k. Looks like there will be an EQD-run sometime just before Christmas...
