Thread title is a bit misleading, because typically cpm designates cents per status mile unless identified otherwise; if I'm reading it correctly, coach would still only be 15,588 status miles, and the other 31k would be RDM.
Nevertheless, an intriguing offer.

That's correct, they're RDM not EQM. MOD, can you please change the title of the thread to exclude the 2.2 cpm?

this will give some serious competition to UA going to HKG. Air Canada has been killed on its flights to HKG, by CX. I wonder if UA will match the 2X miles.^

For this same route its:
110,000 miles for Economy.... for ECONOMY, are you kidding? That's almost the redemption rate for Business class trans pac on many airlines.
175,000 miles for Business
260,000 miles for First
Those rates are for using CX.
What ticket you have?
