[SUITE SPOTS] Japan Airlines Business and First Class to Tokyo

@themilescouple Points and Miles Academy Virgin Atlantic has more “Saver” award space for business class seats to London! Pricing is 29K points from JFK and ATL, 41K points from LAX, and 68K points from SEA. However, Amex offers 40% bonus points to Virgin Atlantic through the end of 2024, so you only need 21K points (JFK + ATL), 30K points (LAX), or 49K points (SEA). This is seriously the best pricing you can get for business class to Europe across the board… but especially for the west…

@themilescouple Award Booking Service Fly lie-flat to Tokyo with a layover in Paris (which you can turn into a several-day stopover)! Pricing for these dates is at 95,000 points! With Chase’s 20% transfer bonus to Air France/KLM, you’ll only need to transfer 80,000 points per seat. Flying through Europe is definitely a more round-about way to get to Tokyo from the US, but considering how competitive premium award availability to Japan is these days, it may be worth it if any of these dates…

@themilescouple Award Booking Service Fly China Airlines business class to Taipei starting at 58,000 points with Chase’s 20% transfer bonus! Even if Taipei isn’t your final destination, this is a great option to position into Asia. Similarly, though this excellent pricing is also found only from Vancouver, you can easily position there from other major airports along the west coast! Seattle is only an hour away, while LAX and SFO are less than 3 hours out – more than worth the journey for a…

@themilescouple Points and Miles Academy Yesterday, Virgin changed it award chart to dynamic pricing… and “Saver” fares to the UK are now as low as 29,000 points! If you have any Chase points, thanks to the 40% transfer bonus you only need 21,000 Ultimate Rewards. Citi also has a 30% transfer bonus, so you’d need 23,000 ThankYou points. If your points are with another bank – this is still a stellar deal, and arguably one of the cheapest ways you can reach Europe on points. Considering that…
