180,000 mi
Round trip, per person: estimated at $1,800 at our planning baseline. Actual redemption value can differ.
New to this? A saver award is the lowest standard award price an airline publishes (availability is limited). cpp (cents per point) is what each point is worth when redeemed: cash value ÷ points × 100.
Before booking, compare the same dates, cabin, bags, and cancellation terms. Confirm live award space, taxes and cash fees, your balance, and transfer timing. The example price does not reserve a seat.

Why this route is worth checking
- Stopover for +5k
- Flexible Star routings
At our conservative floor these miles are worth about $1,800 round trip . If you find an award at 180,000 miles round trip, compare that estimate with the cash fare and any award fees. A higher cash fare may make points worth considering; a lower fare may favor paying cash.
The honest catch
Long-haul pricing is distance-based, so backtracking routings can tip into the next band; post-June-2026 deval the longest US-SE Asia bands can exceed 90k. Your exact band depends on the routing — check it before you transfer.

How we make money, honestly: we may earn a commission if you apply for a card through one of our links, and a small commission if you book a hotel through one of our links. Both at no cost to you. Our ranking never depends on payout fields. A “pay cash” verdict earns us nothing by itself; if you then book a hotel through one of our links, we may earn a commission. Offers and terms change constantly; always confirm current details on the provider's site before booking.
