OW/*A USA to SIN for $2700 in J return

Spotted on flights:

https://www.google.com/flights?lite=...7*2.CAD.367247

Can ticket either with AA or JL even though the entire journey is on JL metal (unsure which one is preferable). Availability seems to be limited to June and July. Usual disclaimer : cannot comment on the quality (or lack thereof) of flying JL in J. The layover times vary depending on when you're departing but seem to be between short (1 hour) and moderate (3 hours). I personally would take the latter just to try out the JL lounges at NRT and HND!

Safe Travels,

James

UA/NH SAN > SIN for $2700 in J return

Possible to get the long-haul portion from left coast of US to Japan (or vice versa) on UA metal should you want to have your precious PL access on the return . Availability appears to be limited to late June and throughout the month of July.

Dates are about the same for availability (i.e. June and July). I wonder who UA is targeting with these fares

In UA's defence they are touching a few other destinations namely:

Also possible out of LGA on AA/JL if you find the commute to JFK too strenuous

Availability not as great as original JL deal posted above.

Not a bad deal at all. The only thing to be aware of is that JL I fares earn fewer miles (both redeemable and elite-qualifying) with many OW programs.

Following the first link to the JAL site looks like they book into X.

These have been around, at least in part, for a while, but definitely worth revisiting. Some great deals out there right now!

AA/JL JFK - SIN/TPE $2700 RT in J

TYO BKK and HKT also around $2700-$2900. JL X class is the best of the bunch for AA earning.

QR and AY have fares to Asia at $3K from multiple cities.

As usual, there are consolidator fares out there at similar price points that maximize EQD earnings on AA coded flights.
