For each request, please include the following information:
Departure Airport:
Miles Needed:
Required Spend or Maximum Budget (choose one, and state the value):
Available Travel Dates:
Required Metal or Codeshares Okay:
Route(s) You've Already Searched:
Do you have a Chinese Visa (Yes/No)?
For each response. Please quote the original request. DO NOT START A NEW THREAD.
There are many good fares to China (PEK or PVG). If you have a Chinese visa, these options will be provided.
If your requested PQM is in a few thousand, please give a more accurate amount. You will get fewer options with a roundup number (eg, 5000 instead of 4830; IAD-SFO nonstop will work for the latter.)

Help please to hit 1K from DEN
Made an earlier crucial mistake by paying for business class on *Alliance (LOT) and only getting 100% instead of 200% PQM.
Departure Airport: DEN (could reposition possibly)
Miles Needed: 13k PQM to hit 1K
Required Spend or Budget: flexible but least expensive
Available Travel Dates: flexible - before end of year- preferably no overnights
Required Metal or Codeshares okay: Codeshare OK, only need $93 UA for PQD

For those near EWR, here is a great deal for earning PQM this year or early next year, EWR-CTU for about $440 and 19K PQM.

This is much cheaper, DEN-NRT-PEK-ORD-DEN, for $510. You can use the TWOV (transit visa) for this itinerary.

W class?
BTW, United pays more attention to my post on FT MR deals forum than theflightdeal.com site. Perhaps, United should pay me some commissions for all BQN suggestions on this thread.

Required Spend or Maximum Budget (choose one, and state the value): no required spend
Available Travel Dates: Christmas or weekends (Fri- Sun)
Required Metal or Codeshares Okay: OK

I was not able to find W class price for EWR-CTU this morning. Since this deal is nearly dead, you may be able to find W fares now.

2 x SFO-HKG for 1K?
You only need 800 miles? Roundtrip SFO to San Diego will get you about 900, same day roundtrip would only cost you $150

Please sign up 3 miles (RDM) per PQD promotion for HKG before you book your trips.

EWR-HKG nonstop for $613
[QUOTE=rayzer9978;30477100]
EWR-HKG is $613, not too bad. EWR-SIN is higher. Do not forget to sign the 3 RDM per PQD promotion before booking the flight.
