If you're going to the US or Caribbean doing an AA KUPP run you may be able to knock off a couple of sectors on airlines such as Copa (CM) United (UA) US Air (US) TACA (TA) Air Canada (AC) if positioning for KUPPs.

Closer to home airlines such as Air New Zealand (NZ) Thai Airways (TG) & All Nippon (NH) may be useful.

If going to NZ using your free VA Amex ticket you could do a cheap one way on NZ somewhere within NZ. It would be interesting to work out the cheapest one way sectors on some of these carriers.

As Mel_Traveller pointed out on the other thread, its better value to just buy US DM points during a promotion (12.5 @ 100% bonus) than chasing flights. I did take a look at ex-KUL or ex-BKK flights as there are some BKK-KUL short hop flights (eg LH) but decided it wasn't worth it.
