Credit card points with Mark let’s start with Japan Airlines which is one of the two main Japanese Airlines and is your best bet to find consistent business or first class award availability further out in the calendar Japan Airlines also recently announced their a350 1000 products which will be their first ever

Closed door cabins for both business and first class and these products will start flying in January of 2024 from New York to Tokyo to start you’ll first need points from built Capital 1 AMX or City to transfer over to Cath Pacific from there we’ll book our Japan Airlines

Flight on cath Pacific’s award program and this works because both cath Pacific and Japan Airlines are part of the One World Alliance a Airline alliances means some Airlines will grant their award seats to other airlines of that same program so in this case Japan Airlines provided their award seats to Cafe

Pacific’s award program which is what we’re going to book through you’ll then need to select a Us Gateway City that Japan airline services and here’s a list of all the US Gateway cities that you can fly out of the best way to find a word availability on Japan Airlines

Through cath Pacific is to search near calendar open which is going to be 30 160 days in advance when they release two business class seats and one first class seat at calendar open after you’ve transferred points to Cafe input your Us Gateway City to Tokyo Hana hit business

Class then pick a date that is near calendar open which is again 360 days in advance you’ll find business class flights for $ 89,000 Asian miles and $352 in fees and first class for 135,000 asan miles and the same amount in fees for reference in the example of JFK to

Haned business class costs a little under $44,000 and first class costs over 15,000 yes $115,000 for a one-way flight in Japan Airlines first class that’s the price of a nice used car if your goal is to fly Japan Airlines new business or first class on their a350 they’ve announced

That their first ever route is going to be from JFK to ha on flight numbers jl5 and jl6 so keep a lookout for those specific flight numbers for the new aircraft now booking a calendar open is quite a far away date but when it comes to W travel

Wideopen Polaris sa seat availability T-minus 30 days or 1 month from departure so the best strategy to travel in large groups to Japan is actually to book refundable economy tickets on the dates that you want to travel wait until that 1 month or T-minus 30-day window opens and then you can start searching

For Polaris saver seat availability the reason for this is most Airlines don’t release more than two business class seats outside of the T-minus 30day window so it’s harder to plan for larger groups further out in the calendar with this strategy the trip is guaranteed because you have those refundable

Economy tickets and then when the T-minus 30-day window approaches you can start looking for United Polaris availability for you and your group for booking United Polaris we need built Capital 1 AMX or chase points which will event transfer over to a Canada airoplan from there we’ll book United business
