Thanks Canuck, but I already did this route last year. Is there any other VS/DL Partner route besides JNB that can earn something similar like this?
How about the AM Business class?
How about the AM Business class?
Virgin Atlantic have some of their lower priced Economy Delight fare class flights to JNB back, though not sub $1000, for departures from JFK/IAD/MIA/ATL for dates departing late February/March
e.g., March 5 - 7, IAD - JNB, $1042 (Economy Delight), earns about $4600 MQDs and 23,000 MQMs

There might be some cheaper Aeromexico business class fares from ATL-TIJ (via MEX or GDL). Earns about $2100 MQDs. I am seeing on Google Flights tickets are in the $700 range.

Thank you Canuck. I tried other Mexico Airports such as MID and VSA on AeroMexico (Metal or Ticketed by DL). Regardless if I purchase the business class on AM Metal or AM ticketed by DL, will my MQD be the same?

Aeromexico business class flights earn 40% of the distance flown for MQDs. For example, ATL-MEX-TIJ-MEX-ATL is about 5700 miles and so the MQDs earned on a business class fare would be 5700 miles * 40% or $2280

Flights are counted based on date of departure. Any segments of your trip that departed on December 31 will count toward your 2021 earnings.

Take a look at the business class flights from BCN to GRU on the premium fare deals disucssion for as low as $1100. Dates available for March travel. You should be able to take positioning flights to/from AMS to BCN.

I think you will have to wait a bit to see how things play out in terms of covid restrictions in the next few months.
