UA/NH: NYC-NRT-CGK $1114 rt ai 5.0 cpm 22,279 miles
Jakarta, Indonesia.
Lots of dates, seems to be eos, but I haven't fully investigated all the connections so I'm not sure what the shortest turnaround time would be.
The itin I found is:
LGA-IAH-NRT-CGK//CGK-NRT-IAD-LGA

For a little more money ($1140), you can route LGA-IAH-NRT-CGK
11678 miles each way, 23,356 return.
Just note - connecting thru Tokyo means an overnight there, which could bump up the actual cost to you ... substantially.
Also - the NRT-CGK segment is operated by ANA, yielding only 50% EQM

The shortest connection in NRT that I could find was 12 hours overnight. I'm not sure if anyone can do better?
Would this be doable without an overnight hotel stay, i.e., is there lounge availability etc? I don't think I've ever tried a long connection there. Usually fly into SIN or sometimes HKG.

And you may want to look into the dayroom option if you will be there for the 12 hours.

Did this once and the transit time > 12 hours. I wasn't allowed to stay in the air side. Had to pick up my luggage, book an airport hotel last minute. Definitely wasn't a very seamless transit.

Hotels in Narita city can be had for less than US$60 per night, and depending on which JFK-NRT flight you take, free hotel shuttles also exist.
If anyone has questions on visiting Jakarta, I can try to help (there now, and have lived there before).

This is incorrect I tried it on united site and they specifically write in the right side of the ANA flight that it only earns 50% or 70% PQM only and in front of Cathay pacific flights they say no PQM

Just to be sure I will book an iternary and then call united to make sure we get 100% PQM as I have taken on a united platinum challenge and need to still fly 18000 PQM in 3 months

I believe you and agree with you but go to bomb to book a flight select the flights and united displays no PQM for Cathay and 50% and 70% for ANA no kidding.

Based in Japan I have been taking plenty of flights on NH Intra-Asia and since the JV agreement have always been credited full mileage. The only thing that's missing is lifetime miles. I never needed to call, works pretty smooth. I wish you luck on your challenge completion.
