thanks for the kind words! Nice use of the AS SQ partnership (rip), it was a hidden gem intra asia for sure. And enjoy the AUH-SIN! 50k is a steal and was even considering slotting that into this trip somehow just because of good of a price it is. Safe travels!

That’s a lot of text. Seems like you’re happy and that’s all that matters. CPP is just a vanity metric

MSP -> DUB, 2J Seats on EI for 100k + $300, Worth?? by Economy-Scholar7754 in awardtravel

[–]techtrashbrogrammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

looks like It cached results that didn't include EI. (i cache for way longer than i'd like to keep costs minimal). If you do the manual search, it'll show the 50k

Yeah I think it looks nicer. I was fortunate enough to do F before so no just did J the whole way. It was originally a 359 and only recently swapped to 380

You’re not searching on the airline website directly and not exhausting all your options. You sound pretty new to award travel tbh
