How to get 15,000 OW bonus?
Hi all.
Just discovered that I'm taking CX and AA this month. I know there's a 15,000 point bonus for flying AA and 2 partner carriers by end of November. I thought I might fly Qantas from SFO to LAX, but they will only sell that ticket in conjunction with an int'l flight.
Can you think of any creative/cheap routings on any OW partner other than CX? Thanks!

I think that rather depends on where in the world you are! If you are coming through HKG then the AY hops in Asia might be good (HKG-BKK or BKK-SIN)

I need one more OW trip to qualify for the 15,000 miles. Anyone know the cheapest MR from NYC using a OW airline, other than AA?
