The only CX club point run would be flying some of the cheap J fares with other OW members. Cheap Y fare with any other airlines will earn 0 club points, cheap Y fare will CX will only make 5 or 10, not much to be considered as "RUN".

MH has some ridiculously cheap J fare ex KUL to SIN that is like sub 150 Sing$ one way that I take advantage of for mileage runs.

or fly CX J from CAN instead of HKG. this way you get more TP and also cheaper J fares compare direct flight from HKG.

like CAN - HKG - TPE.
you can finish this trip in one day and get 80 TP for 3600 HKD.

So you could get DM for only 54000 HKD.

I believe CAN-HKG-TPE is only 60 points Roundtrip. 15 points per way.

DGMAX

Yes you are right, I remembered it wrong. its indeed only 60 TP total

Any pointers as to when these are available? Do they run promotions? Would gladly do a MR between those two on MH, although would probably have to try nesting...

Just checked, and came up with "Business Promo" booking into Z, 2x15=30 TP's for 1,100 HKD / 200 SGD r/t. That's the cheapest I could find...

That is as cheap as it can get for an RT.

Normally what I do if to bus up or position into KLIA on a LCC. the return trips are one in the morning, one in the afternoon and another late night (last flight).

You need to book these fares latest 5 days out

I'm merging this thread into the premium fare deals thread which is the closest we have to club point run thread.

Excellent fares ex-HKG available from Qatar during their big sale. Many destinations in Europe for less than $14k.

Excellent, I was just looking this morning and it hadn't been up yet at that point. I saw that there was a great deal to KRO last week that expired on August 28 and was waiting for the new batch to get up in anticipation for some Oct/Nov runs.

Thanks sxc

I just booked HKG-DOH-Seychelles for 2017 - HK$16070 not including YQ / $18402 all inclusive

Which earns me 170 MPC Club Points too.

I was quite excited by this .. but I cannot get the qatar website to work at all! I guess if their planes are as overloaded as their website there are not going to be any good deals left by the time I get to book!
