[SUITE SPOTS] Starlux Business Class to Taipei

@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 ANA first class to Tokyo is a super rare redemption, so if it’s on your radar: book ASAP Flights have very limited first class availability. That’s why even if these aren’t from your home airport, it’s 100% worth repositioning to get there or mixing and matching with other airlines/routes for your outbound/return. Amex’s 40% transfer bonus to Virgin Atlantic means you can book for as low as 52,000 points… Run, don’t walk. “The Room” business class…

@themilescouple Award Booking Service It’s been such a long time since we’ve seen this much availability for Emirates First Class to Italy! For the past 3-4 months, we’ve been tracking Emirates’ fifth freedom route between New York and Milan on a daily basis. Until now, there has typically been only last-minute availability, with seats opening up just 3 days before departure. However, when we checked this morning, we were pleasantly surprised to see that more dates have become available!…

@themilescouple Award Booking Service Business class award space to Japan is limited, mostly last-minute, and predominantly outbound Late last night, All Nippon Airways (ANA) dropped a ton of (mostly last-minute) business class award availability from several cities across the US to Tokyo! If you’re not the type of person who enjoys booking travel the month of departure, you may want to consider flying out of Mexico City instead – especially if MEX a less than 3-4 hour flight from your home…

@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…
