Good fare - anyone looking at this should aim for the A330 services PVG/KUL/PVG

For QFF people PVG/DPS is a better earn rate for Status Points

2 weeks maximum stay, by the looks of it. So that narrows its usability down a little bit. Still, great fare if you happen to live in the Shanghai area or can nest it within these two weeks.

Interesting, and annoying that it varies so much between different FFPs.

QFF rewards 80 SCs for PVG or HKG to KUL, but BAEC rewards 140 for the former and only 40 for the latter.

looks like HKG-KUL-LGK is another option for QFF members at only USD505 for 240SCs

You can also do BKK-KUL-PEK-KUL-BKK for $557. I did three of these earlier in the year when it was priced at $276.

Earns 10,316 EQMs on AA or 360 Tier points on BA.

Any ideas if an immediate turnaround is possible at DPS and LGK?

Just flew Malaysia for the first time on the A330 from KUL to BOM and was very impressed with their business class. It was not a mileage run as I actually needed to get to Mumbai, but kind of functions as one with the good price.

The crew was very polished, the food (especially satay) tasted good, and as a solo traveler I thought 5A was a great seat. These seats catch all kind of hell on here for being poor for sleeping, but it felt fine laying down (I'm 6 foot) and I'll test it out on the flight back to Kuala Lumpur. Hard to complain with these prices.
