I’m always on the hunt for mileage runs and I’ve been a bit spoiled by The Flight Deal ever since they’ve formed. I found a great deal from Los Angeles to Alamaty, Kazakhstan for $885.00 taxes included. The downside is that the flights are operated on Delta and KLM since I am a loyal oneworld guy. The routing is LAX-ATL-AMS-ALA-AMS-LAX.
This will earn you 18,476 MQM’s (Medallion Qualifying Miles) when credited to Delta Airlines at 4.7cpm (cents per mile). This fare is bookable on delta.com and the sample dates are: March 5 – March 14, 2014.

I am from Almaty, but live in Vancouver now. Let me know if you have any questions about the city…
