If you have the Prestige redeeming TYP can be a good value for that route.  I see ~22k to ~25k in F.

Thanks. I thought BA was only $5.60 on AA metal, but maybe that's just Western Hemisphere flights?
only north america flights where there is no fuel surcharges on revenue tickets

42.5 AS, although you'd probably prefer burning AA.

Or 64k QF if you're stocked on TYP.

I look things up, sometimes people point out things to me that I haven't though of, like AV upthread.

I looked into both of those, seems AA is the best bet
