JL: JFK-BKK $2908 Business
A nice US-originating fare. Depending on date, may require (offer?) long layover in TYO and/or an airport change. Travel MON-THU on transpacific sector.
This is X class, earning AA flyers approx $4800 EQDs and 38,000 EQMs ex JFK. Same fare from LAX as well.

NB: I class only earns 20% EQD on AA code, and a paltry 14% on JL code. X class on JL earns 25%.
Also, the min stay on the JL fare is only 12 hours.
If you do want to book via AAVacations, definitely consider calling a travel agent, who can get you the same price with a very low upfront deposit and balance due just 45 days before departure.

Damnit I booked this the other day but at 3280. One of the tyo--bkk legs is from nrt and therefore in angled flat. I called Orbitz to change and costs 400$ .
to cancel is 800$ . Ahhh!
Any suggestions?

AAVacations packages booked through your travel agent instead of direct are extended this perk. The price is the same as booking direct. I have booked business class packages on AAVacations for FT clients with as little as a $200 deposit (with bulk air, of course). Balance due 45 days prior to departure.
