I think the MPM is 10548 So don't think can route through JFK?? Also can we take the AA codeshare on JL for trans pacific sectors or just AA? As for MPM, you can exceed it, but it will result in a surchage (sliding scale depending on % you exceed MPM). On routings, fare rules i looked at said 1 xfer in area 3, and 3 xfers in area 1. |
Also available for SJD for west coasters. SJD-LAX-SJD can be had for cheap. |

The fare rules may say stopovers allowed but scroll down and you will see there are no HIP exceptions, so the stopover will cause a HiP check and increase the fare, possibly significantly.

I found a routing to get around 800TP from this at US$1.9k. Is that the max you can extract from this fare?
edit: nvm figured it out. HKG-NRT-LAX-JFK-DFW-CUN r/t would give exactly 800. |

Thanks - I understand now. If I do HKG-NRT-DFW-MEX. And if NRT-MEX is more expensive than HKG-MEX then I need to pay the higher fare as part of HIP. I guess I can really max it out and do: HKG-KIX-FUK-CTS-NRT (each within 24 hours) and then fly to the US? |

Thanks - This is the point I am always a bit confused on the HIP check.
is there some reference I can check to understand it more? There are times when the HIP charge is still a good deal. I’ve paid a slight additional HIP to get a very low cost LAX-JFK roundtrip on AAs 32t. |

The fare only allows one transfer in Area 3 so you cannot do this. But now you see why we covet the few fares that are filed with no transfer limit, even if there is a HIP check. For a HKG-NRT-DFW-MEX So a HIP check will need to be performed on HKG-DFW HKG-NRT NRT-DFW NRT-MEX If any point is more expensive than HKG-DFW, than the HIP surcharge will be applicable. Just wondered other than Mexico, are there any other "americas" cities these AA fares are applicable? |

Yeah. Although it has to be said that to us mileage runners, CN/HK are pretty much the same thing, but to laypersons as well as in terms of origin and destination theory, CN and HK are quite different markets.

Is there any more location can select? Just for more AS tie miles if possbile only intra Asia can via JL airline? ....
|
Just booked HKG-LAX-JFK-MIA-CUN-MIA-JFK-LAX-HKG - FOR $1936 - used EVIP's to F and cleared. This will be a nice ride.
|
Is the only way to boost EQD flying intra-Asia? Someone mentioned that TPAC must be AA coded and AA metal? |
Great fare ^
|
How do you book. When I use the Google Flights link, it shows the fare, but if I go to make the purchase I get the usual
Something went wrong.We are sorry for the inconvenience, we encountered an error processing your request.

Stageworks, how did you get that routing? I can’t replicate the JFK part on GF or AA.com! anyone have a guess as to how many miles this would credit to AA and or AS with no status on either airline? thanks! |
