My understanding is Special Fares (e.g. purchased through Vacation Packages where fares are marked with an asterisk (*) after the booking code) earn on base miles + cabin of service + status bonus.
Base miles for this is at least 19,200 round trip plus additional depending on routing.
Without booking through a vacation package, if you simply purchase an AA marketed flight on JAL, you'd only earn the base fare before taxes * status multiplier.
So book on AA Vacations to maximize return.

Few announcements in the past 24hrs that seem to have Bali opening back up to tourists mid-Feb with a 2 night quarantine. SQ has loaded daily SIN-DPS, so hopefully it happens sooner than later! I've done 5 hotel quarantines in Jakarta and I'm so over it. Fingers crossed!

They are unless they are special fares, which are usually part of a package deal. You have to book through AAV or similar booking site and include a hotel.

I check expertflyer for the filed fares, doesnt seem that AA or JL have anything similar filed from any of the other major cities (I checked the JL gateway cities only, not random other cities)
