Booked one of these a while ago and nested a pek-jnb rt in PE on CX. Full routing will be LAS-DFW-LAX-PEK in J, PEK-HKG in Y, HKG-JNB-HKG-PEK in PE, and PEK-LAX-LAS in J. Will fly this weekend up until Thanksgiving. Sad that no routing through HKG on AA, have a swu left and would have loved to try F for the first time.
EQMs: 52415
EQDs: 6089
EXP RDMS: 67665
Cost: 3556 (~1.7x EQD multiplier, not the best but was stuck with these dates and a huge gap to EXP)

FWIW.. This deal (though not as good) works through PHX as well in the $2,500 range. Some longer routings (ex. PHX-ORD-DFW-PEK-DFW-LAX-PHX w/4 legs on 787-8/9) available. Dates available now through end of summer.

I just a quick update -- noonish on Monday
City => Pek and 3 nights hotel - (Minimum purchase on AAVacations )
LAS - PEK - $2206
MCO - PEK $2425
RDU - PEK $2548
PHX - PEK - $2510
I wonder if there are any other Asian destinations with cheap biz fares. I'm trying to get to CNX in Jan/Feb. Jan 23rd to Feb 12th -- bouncing around in between.
Qatar has a flt $3,400 ish -- but AA will allow on 25% of EQD -- and I hate to lose 3/4 of dollars spent.
Ideas?

I realized I forgot the date.
Plan to leave Jan 23rd ish - return Feb 12th ish.
My understanding - which apparently is wrongo, ignorant man - if I spend $2500 on AA I receive the $2500 toward my $6000 nut to crack for Plat.
If I spend $2500 on partner airline then I would only receive $625 EQD -- dollars spent. 25%
I thought the EQM's - would be the same for the length of the trip.
To explain more. I'm going to visit two missionary friends over in Asia - One in Chiang Mai and the other in Phenom Penh .
1) DFW - LAS - Ticket 1 - outbound
2) LAS-DFW-PEK - Ticket 2 - Outbound
3) PEK - CNX -- Ticket 3 - One Way
Train from CNX to BKK
4) BKK - PNH - Ticket 4 - One Way
Visit Cambodia / Viet Nam
5) HAN - PEK -- Ticket 4 - One way
6) PEK - LAS -- Ticket 2 - Return
6) LAS - DFW -- Ticket 1 - Return
DFW - LAS - $300 / LAS - PEK - $2200 / PEK - CNX - $500 / BKK - PNH - $350 / HAN - PEK $500 prem econ. - others are business class.
Sorry, I didn't mean to take so long -- but working on details -- Thanks for reading.

To clear up my misunderstand --
To use PEK - CNX - call it 1800 miles -- $500 on an Oneworld carrier - and this is a bad example since there is not OW carrier on this route - but if there was.
The EQD would be 450 --- and not $125. Correct?
