AA: ORD-BOG $322ai
AA: ORD-BOG
Seeing $322ai on ITA. Available for most of March. With some creative routings could possibly be used for MR.

I'm not sure if DL is bringing back JFK-BOG for the summer or if ATL is your only connecting option but certainly JFK would open up more interesting MR possibilities.

SU has filed a new line of fares. They did not worry much and mainly filed same fare levels from many markets. I am talking of Europe to Asia now.
As a result BCN-HAN for rt is now from USD700 ai while closest competitor is at least USD300 above. Enjoy))

Don't know if it is trickable, just pointed out that if it was, it would be a great deal

I don't know if flights to Kyrgyzstan generate much interest, but I thought this was a pretty cheap fare to Bishkek. Looks like you can do various 3 week stints, all leaving on a Thursday and returning on a Thursday. Try various weekends through October (some will have slightly higher fares).
I know the 9 hour SVO layover may deter some, although the fare rules (QPX outbound, WPX inbound) say stopovers are permitted, though they don't specify cost. Both Q and W qualify for DL Skymiles (about 13K BIS miles).

AA: AUS-GIG/GRU $842/877 a.i.
AA: AUS-GIG/GRU $877/842 a.i. (title repeated for some mobile readers)
this isn't exactly what I'd call excellent but decent for this time of year. I was notified re AUS-GRU but found same for GIG (much more interesting IMHO)
rules state 2 night minimum but seeing 0-night turns to GRU (assuming dep. just past midnight). bookable over AA.com
lots of availability Feb-Jun, but did not find this fare from other airports (OKC, IAH, STL, etc.)
reminder: BR requires a visa of US citizens

AA+: AUS-xxx-NRT-HKG-NRT-xxx-AUS $997 a.i.
AA+: AUS-xxx-NRT-HKG-NRT-xxx-AUS $997 a.i.
AA code shares available NRT-HKG-NRT at no extra cost!
seems to require 5 night stay. outbound dates 3/3, 3/17, 3/31.
visible on ITA Matrix and AA.com, bookable through latter.
found okay pricing for some other cities (e.g. SIN) served with AA codeshares from NRT.
none of this seems well suited to mileage running but should work for someone just wanting go to HKG on AA, possibly upgrading TPAC with SWU's or miles+copay.

If your friend is a Kyrgyz citizen I don't believe a visa is necessary to enter Russia, which makes the SVO layover more tolerable (of course double checking with the nearest Russian consulate is always a good idea).
