AA MR Request from DFW

Hello. I am looking for MR run on March 1-3 and April is wide open. I have no status as of now on AA. I do have 7 flights booked from March to July from DFW - Tulsa. This will be my first MR.

I would like to earn between 7,500 and 12,500 EQM. The lower the fare the better and $825 max. Thanks

You can got to Jakarta for around $800 - around 20k EQM

Make sure when you select the flights on aa.com it is shows as an AA flight number even though it may be an JAL or any other code share.. this is the only way you can ensure you will get 1:1 miles.

Note to JJsnyder just so you don't get tripped up:

texontour's options, which go USA-China-USA will require a Chinese visa.
(No visa would be necessary if you are going USA-China-[3rd country]).

Another option is DFW-LAX-HND-LAX-DFW out 3/1 return 3/3 for $782, 13400 miles. There is a promotion that you can register for at AA for a bonus 5000 redeemable miles.

I'd invest in the Chinese visa especially if you plan on doming more MR's. There always seems to be a good PEK fare.

Thanks. Did I miss 782 fare? For Japan it says flight operated by Jal but listed an AA flight number will I get full miles? Also for full bonus won't my return have to be into LAX also? Earn up to 20,000 Bonus AAdvantage Miles when you fly American between Los Angeles and Tokyo Haneda.

I don't have a Chinese visa yet. Based on this what would be my best option be? If i can't make Japan work as im not find the fare at $783. I also have March 16-19 open for MR. Does anyone see the Japan DFW-LAX-HND-LAX-DFW for $782? or close to it. Thanks for helping me out with this.

Here's an option that might work:

$634 - 16214 miles - 3.91 cents/mile
DFW - HKG (Hong Kong) - DFW

Lots of availability in April. Here's an example, but play with dates as needed: http://goo.gl/flights/0nR1

Note: Hong Kong (and Macau) are China, but there is no visa requirement to go to them (the whole 1-country-2-systems thing).

Yes, it is gone now. Airfares can change quickly. The DFW-HKG-DFW looks like your best option for April.

I got the DFW-LAX on hold and also LAX-JFK-SJU anything better? March 1 late-March 3 land at DFW around 5 AM?

Anything better staying within USA/Canada and SJU dates March 1-3 must land by 6 Am back at DFW. If you can help. Thanks.
