JASA Availbility - one way vs return

[LuisT]

Just a question about booking international JASA flights.

I was looking at a CBR-HKG itinerary, and have found that if I look at one way legs I can find flights for reasonable points, however if I search for a return flight, it comes up with the same outgoing flight but the return is much more expensive (100k vs 500k points).

Is there any reason for this? Also, is there any reason not to book as seperate one way segments?

Finally - on one of the legs it says it will be in first - does that mean it books into first even though it's JASA?

Thanks...

If it books into F then it’s a very good JASA and I’d definitely go for it

It’s always a good idea to check what it books into as on occasion some have booked into Y, not J. But F points, SC and the experience is a very good deal, if it can be found for the cost of J

Not sure about the pricing discrepancy.

For First class checking the booking fare bucket - P indicates First on award.

See this thread for info on a script to expose the booking class for each segment while searching.
