Try different dates, out Mon and ret Thr, am in LAX waiting for NRT MNL connection
Mar 18 out ret Mar 21 has same fare $1232.30
Some weeks the fare is $2800 or more, try different combinations. Pick flight using schedule and not price on delta.com otherwise you probably won't see ret flight SIN NRT JFK SFO. Good luck!

FlexPerks is the old NW VIsa card which I Use whenever I can't use AMX. The other benefit of that card is any charitable donations are worth triple point so remember for your donations tun use that card if you can.

If you use FlexPerks to "buy" a tkt on DL. you earn miles the same as if you used cash/cc?:confused: I guess I never knew that@:-) Maybe I'd better pay more attention to that card;)

anybody have a UA routing for this? Can't seem to get close to the fare on UA!

Any ticket purchased with FlexPerks points earns miles. Also, you get a $25 credit for in-air purchases. Flights are booked via Travelocity, so mixed carrier options are possible.

Any suggestions? If possible, I may try two of these in February.

Jan 20, Feb 7 are departure dates, although with no intermediate stop (~20k instead of 22k). Even a bit cheaper at $1,077, but that bumps the CPM to 5.5. I may do it, I could use 20K MQMs to get 2013 off to a great start.

If you want a few more miles and want to spend even more time in an airplane (this routing sounds back-breaking), I found one on Feb 5:

EWR-DTW-LAX-NRT-SIN-NRT-PDX-SEA-JFK for 21,900 mi @ $1,105 for about 5cpm.

you only have to do 5 of those trips for Diamond status, and at a pretty reasonable cost, just a shade over 5 grand. Anyone game? One MR to SIN a week for 5 weeks!
not anymore. check out the changes DL just made to status qualification. Must spend $12,500 (computed only on the base price of the fare, excluding taxes and fees) and fly at least 125,000 miles to qualify for Diamond!

If this were 2014, sure. Pretty sure it's still 2013 though.

2013 miles qualify for 2014 status. Does EQD go into effect now for 2014 status? Or is 2014 when EQD's begin getting tracked and applied to 2015 status?

Adam1222 Jan 18, 2013 12:23 pm

Pretty clear that it goes intoeffect for 2015 status

tfc3rid Jan 18, 2013 1:36 pm

2013 flying on DL is same earn as last year... 2014 is when the MQD go into effect, basically nullifying MR's.

jeffmilw Jan 22, 2013 9:14 pm

Or you bypass the MQD by meeting the spend on the delta Amex card.

The date makes a big difference in price, best price tonight is $1282.40 for Out Mar 4 and Ret Mar 7 and only on DL 622, 722 and 1322, if you take the later flight JFK to SFO the price is higher. Tried one and two weeks later and price was much higher. Didn't try any dates in April but you might try.
