EK: F CMB-LAX $4245 return
Nice fare out of CMB on one of the best first cabins and airline. Can also route through MLE.
CMB-MLE-DXB-LAX-DXB-MLE-CMB all in First (A fare)
GC Mapper shows 21,414 base distance miles.
Hours on first class in the air: 21hrs 50min for outbound and 21hrs 35min on return. Total 43hrs 25min.
Lemme know if you are able to increase miles or more time in F on this fare
Book directly on EK and play around dates and routings on EK's website or GF Round trip to Los Angeles | Google Flights

If it weren't for Alaska's segment requirements this would put most people right at MVP 75k. Hmmm, but the bonus miles give me enough for a trip to Japan, but there's been 0 CX availability right now. Tough call.

This fare does not allow a stopover in DXB, and any other stopover (eg MLE) cannot exceed 7 days.

This is really tempting....may pull the trigger if the fare is around for Jan 2022. Would be 75k if all things go well this year and basically guarantee qualification for me that year since I travel about 40k AS metal organically a year.
So the math for me is $4250 - 140k RDM (when factoring in 50k RDM bonus) rebate...enough for a RT F on JL or CX.
