Results summary, business class (J), LAX origin, 2027-06-22 to 2027-08-21:
| Destination | Best find | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| PVG (Shanghai Pudong) | KL/AF, up to 9 seats, from 313,500 mi | Dense near-daily KLM/Flying Blue inventory, with occasional Air France dates |
| TPE (Taipei Taoyuan) | CI, as low as 143,000 mi | China Airlines is the standout value in this batch — cheapest fare here by far, though thin at 1–2 seats/date; Delta is the higher-availability alternative at ~195,000 mi |
| SIN (Singapore Changi) | No matches | No premium cabin space found, despite being a major SkyTeam-connected hub |
| BKK (Bangkok Suvarnabhumi) | No matches | No premium cabin space found |
| SGN (Ho Chi Minh City) | No matches | No premium cabin space found |
| HAN (Hanoi) | No matches | Zero rows returned at all — seats.aero may not have any cached data for this market yet, unlike SIN/BKK/SGN which returned data with no premium hits |
Standouts:
- Best value: TPE via China Airlines at 143,000 miles — cheapest fare across all destinations checked so far, though limited to 1–2 seats per date.
- Best raw availability: PVG via KLM/Flying Blue — near-daily inventory, up to 9 seats on some dates.
- Zero matches: SIN, BKK, and SGN all came back empty this round.
- Worth a second look: HAN returned no data at all (not just no premium matches) — may need a re-check once seats.aero has more coverage for that market.
- All results shown are business (J) — no first class (F) turned up anywhere in this run.
