DL/AF - CDG-GRU return - USD 706/EUR 640 - 18094 MQM

Nice-ish fare from CDG to GRU, via ATL. Availability scattered from August (odd May dates available, found nothing Jun-Aug yet). Not a basic eco fare apparently, books into V.

Google flights sample in Sep

Spoiler
 
Hope its useful to someone Not a mega deal, but nice price especially from CDG IMHO.

If you can reposition to MAD/PMI/BCN you can find this for $1400 in business class. Not bad for economy though

This would be more comfortable, but do realize that it'll increase the cost per MQM quite a bit. I didn't look at the current economy prices, but based on the thread title it would cost about 4 USD cents per MQM. The cheapest business ticket is $1848.16 roundtrip from BCN and it'll earn 25452 MQM's. That's a cost of 7.3 USD cents per MQM.

Yes it increased the MQM price but you should check the MQD/SkyMiles earning rates (especially as Diamond) The much lower fares do pop up frequently so it just depends on timing.

​​​​​​Absolutely right. Being based outside the US, I never took a look at MQD tbh, and for those looking for RDM, esp with status, J is obviously a better option in many cases.

That is true! It will greatly increase MQD if that's what you're looking for!
