Having done IAH-NRT in both BF and Y, it is tough that this can't be upgraded via GPU. Though at this fare and the PHL-IAH-NRT-SIN routing, this has to be one of the best bangs for your $$ from PHL in terms of miles. 4 trips, ~$4500k = 90k miles, but then you are way short in the PQD category.

For those of you who missed out and still want to fly, 848 USD available on QR PHL-DOH-SIN which is promoting their new nonstop flt PHL-DOH. Crediting miles to OW. I would much prefer to travel on QR than UA.

Why is QR preferred over UA? Does QR provide 100% or 50% elite qualified mile credit to OW? Just curious.

Also departing out of YYZ, JL issued tickets via ORD and NRT were reasonable as well, but the QR flights were a bit cheaper in the end.

What do we think? It's *A don't care about the metal. For those who want an A3/*G "one-and-done" this might be a good option. (5cpm) (ok it's slightly shy of 20k but pretty close).

The problem is that it's just shy of 20k miles flown, but all of those fares earn 50% on A3, so you'd have to take two of these trips to get A3/*A Gold

maybe dumb question but
Maybe a dumb question but...
I am really curious how Surface Interval could find such a great MR. If the source is ITA, entering "PHI - SIN, UA+" really does not serve the purpose. How do I know (or find out) the connecting cities in order to construct a nice MR deal similar to this? If the source is only UA website, that makes things even harder to find MR deals. If using multi-city, the connecting times are completely unknown. How to find a good route? Please give me a hint.... BOW
