Hey, no offense! I didn't mean you were lying or anything, beyounged and I have just tried to book this with C flights and couldn't make it work. ITA always showed availability, but we just couldn't book it.
If you could book it, kudos!
I would really like to book this too, but I just spent way too much money on two nice F trips with my girl-friend. :-(

Only 1284 of the 30,404 miles flown in the itinerary credit at less than 100% as EQM. A mere 4.2%.
I looked at BA but the J fare books into R which is only 150% EQM but I decided to forego the extra 25% EQM on one segment to fly 2Χ EK in J on the A380 and a great Lounge too.
Breakdown as MVPG75K.
Miles flown, 30,404
EQM 34,132
J bonus RDM 17,479
75K Elite Bonus RDM 37,204
Total RDM 88,315 Plus CC spend on Alaska MasterCard takes it to 91,574.

Hello- long time reader, first time poster. I have a rather great itinerary put together but I was looking to hop off in MAD for an easy flight back to NYC. Are there likely reprocussions for not completing the segment? Or should I just schedule the MAD-TYO segment for a later date?

In theory, they could recalculate the price, but that is extremely unlikely.
I skip segments all the time, including on this fare. No problems so far.
In general, you might want to avoid flying the same carrier or credit all flights to LATAM (as this would make it easier for them to prove that you didn't just miss your flight), but even that probably isn't a problem, as long as you don't do it all the time.
It won't matter if you schedule the MAD-TYO for a segment for a later day, but the advantage with that is that you'd be able to check your bags to MAD only, if you want to check bags at all. But it would probably increase the price.

I confirm the successful AKL-PPT-IPC-SCL-MAD-DXB-SEZ-DXB-HND routing. A little problem in the SEZ imigration with regard to the SCL route (in addition to flying to Colombia), but OK with the supervisor.

Got the logic of fare construction, but still do not get the LATAM Y fares that book into business cabin. I see they are cleaning up such cheap Y fares, but still good to understand.
PS. Miss the times when I flew BA F on cheapest LA A promo eco fares

This is really a Y,J fare so those browsing the Premium Fares will miss it. 😉 8 segments, 3Y & 5J at a little over $265 / segment is so sweet. The title doesn't reflect the deal now. I am going to book a second one just can't decide if I should do it before or after and what other routes to try. AY has potential with 200% EQM to AS.

Now, I am curious about what one could do going westbound the whole way. I priced one out in March 2019 for $870 USD, all Y. I wonder if there are other possibilities?

I think that I have the one I want maxed out. I would've loved EK, but any DXB connection breaks my fares, so either I'm doing something wrong, or it's just not available in my timeframe.
