Just always do the math to see if a RT ticket (even if youre not flying RT) is cheaper than the use of miles

What's the best way to book nyc - mnl?
I am assuming aa 67.5 on cx or jal but it's not available for my dates, which airlines fly there without too many stops and how can I book it?
change in plans
what would be the best way to do (nyc?) - tlv - mnl -nyc (if i stay under 24hrs in mnl, would that be a valid routing?)
if i would do 2 separate tickets than i assume aa for the tlv (amn) - mnl leg for 30k?
