Airfare deals are typically only available on limited dates. We recommend that you use Google Flights to find dates to fly, then book through an online travel agency, such as Orbitz or Expedia, which allows you to cancel flights without penalty by 11pm Eastern Time within one day of booking. However, if you’re using the American Express Platinum Card, you’ll need to book directly with the airline or through the Amex Travel portal to get 5x MR points. Remember: Fares may disappear quickly, so book right away and take advantage of Orbitz or Expedia’s courtesy cancellation if you’re unable to get the time away from work or family.

Update 11/22/16 11:45am ET: Unfortunately this deal is no longer available. Congrats to anyone who booked!

Here's an absolutely incredible deal that you shouldn't hesitate to pounce on — fly from the US to Southeast Asia from just $1,400 round-trip in business class on a combination of American Airlines and various Oneworld alliance partners. We're seeing the majority of these deals originate in Los Angeles (LAX), but there are a few deals to be had from New York as well. This deal just keeps getting better, as many of these itineraries include travel on American's fantastic new 777-300ER which features one of the best business-class products in the sky today.

Fly AA's 777-300ER to Asia on the cheap.
