Found the cheapest routing through PDX-ATL-BCN-JFK-PDX.

SEA-ATL-BCN-JFK-SEA $786.10 as well. You should probably update your title to point out this is 3cprdm. Most people here wouldn't consider 6cpmqm to be a good mileage run.

UA offers direct (not non-stop) to SFO via NRT, but not LAX.
At this point LAX - TPE non-stop will only be served by BR & CI. I think CI even announced frequency cuts a few days ago, I wonder if those will now be reversed. I've always heard off hand that TPE is a relative low yield market, FWIW.

Yes it does belong here. The comments you see about it not being a good deal was before it was merged with the Good Deals thread.

"Most booking fares are eligible for accrual of KrisFlyer miles. However, Economy Class tickets issued in V, Q, G, N or T booking classes on Singapore Airlines and SilkAir are ineligible for mileage accrual."

I think a while back I looked it up across all carriers and V didn't earn anywhere on *A, in any program. I'll be happy to eat my words but that's what I recall.
