So you guys divide it by half when there is a double EQM promotion? That's just confusing. I just use CPM to refer to base miles since it ignores any promotion/elite status.

I was able to get PHL-BOS-NRT-PEK-NRT-LAX-DFW-PHL for $547 (Sunday return needed...). TPAC on AA flight numbers but operated by JL B788 and B773 for full EQM. Total of 15,768 EQM since JL flights only accrue 30% in N inventory.

Combining a mileage run with a cheap way to fly a dreamliner...

Found a routing through Tokyo.

PHL-MIA-ATL-DFW-NRT-PEK-NRT-DFW-PHL for 517, 2.7cpm, 19,156 miles.

On a different note, a question for those in the know with the TWOV policy. If I were to, say, fly the first leg PHL-MIA-ATL-ORD-PEK and the return went PEK-NRT(overnight layover)-DFW-PHL, would that satisfy the rules?

Amazing fares. Just snag three tickets to PHL-ORD-PVG-ORD-PHL for under $1300. I was hoping for a PEK fare while using getgoing but I will take PVG. Now if I want to see Great Wall, I will need to get a Chinese Visa.

Not plat... just gold - premier rewards or business.

I wish! If anyone does say something. That being said this fare is filed starting Jan 05 and it appears that the fall dates given in the fare are for next year not for this year so it's unlikely anything for this fall on this fare can be found (though if anyone does I would love it as I need some EQPs to complete my challenge)

cancel fee

If i book, and for some reason can't make it...the fare rules state $300 cancel fee? I don't usually look into cancel fees, so just trying to get info on this. Thank you.

What about if you just have a short connection in Tokyo on the way back? Can you transit without visa?

As long as you arrive from XXX and depart PVG/PEK to YYY, then you qualify. HKG is also included.

The TWOV FAQ is an excellent resource: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/china...visa-twov.html
