PE on CX: JFK HKG JNB r/t $2395
So, If I'm reading this correctly, and I understand the mileage rules, this could earn up to 75k miles when banked to alaska if you have mvp gold 75k....
Books in Class "E," which gets a 235% boost on miles, and should bank 32k miles base.
16 hour flight from JFK to HKG in PE on CX 777 then 13 hours from HKG to JNB
My first post in deals, but I feel like this qualifies for a certain segment.... 58 hours in PE for $2395 on a well regarded airline like CX?
Here's a sample. Is bookable directly with CX too for further mileage boosts with whatever card you like.

That works out to 5.43 cpm (but remember, you're sitting in a more comfortable seat than economy) and 41cents per qualifying dollar.

If you are crediting to AS, CX PE has a 10% class of service bonus which is EQM.
Crediting to AS: - No EQD requirement.
32,347 EQM
47,050 RDM MVP
61,753 RDM MVPG
69,104 RDM MVPG75K
As an MVPG75K, doing this twice would generate almost enough (1792 RDM short) for a third trip in F TPAC & J to South Africa return.

I've done LAX-HKG-AKL several times (about 1k miles shorter on each leg), and it's very do-able in CX PE
The seats are plenty comfortable(and I'm - 6'4"). For me, the biggest challenge in making that flight in PE vs J is simply keeping myself occupied in the less spacious seat and cabin (in J, I make a lap around the cabin and visit the galley every hour)
