@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!

@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…

But if you want to fly lie-flat on your long-haul, whether Bora Bora is your final destination or…

@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.

@themilescouple Award Booking Service Travel to Zurich in SWISS Business Class – some dates have up to 9 seats available! Availability is nonstop from several major US and Canadian cities, and varies depending on route. Some routes have availability during peak summer travel times, which is excellent!
