AA HKG-PEK/ICN/TYO-DFW-MEX/GDL/CUN r/t $1,845
Books into AA I. Transpac segments must be on AA, but intra-Asia segments can book into almost any OW/ AA partner airline. Widely searchable on GF and ITAMatrix.

this almost makes it impossible to fly my upcoming 70K Alaska Jakarta - Hong Kong - Boston CX F .. when I can fly this fare round trip, although .. positioning costs, Jakarta to Hong Kong and MEX to/east coast but easy with avios. $1880 HKG NRT DFW MEX DFW NRT HKG (and 55,000 AS miles) or 70,000 alaska one way home CGK HKG BOS in F ? and I just met my Amex platinum minimum spend this is ridic 😢 |

Wish I could say I’m surprised but this seems to be pretty standard exit-CN/HK pricing for AA these days. For those looking for the max experience, since AA is on MPM and not routings, you can do some pretty ridiculous routings like HKG-LAX-JFK-DFW-MEX and get 77W, 321T and 767. You could also get some CX/JL intra-Asia flights - probably can get 50k+ EQM on this fare. |
I found a routing to get around 800TP from this at US$1.9k. Is that the max you can extract from this fare?

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? |

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. |
Sorry for posting this question, would i face any problem for the return legs, say dfwlaxhkg if i decided not to fly the dfw-mex-dfw sectors? thanks for your advice! |

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.

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? |

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! |

Actual redeemable miles, not much on AA -- <10k because it's fare based. Definitely credit to AS if you're looking for RDM. |

there's a way to trick AA to credit your fare as "Fare Unavailable" should earn around 6,900 EQD and 62,500 RDM ;)
