Booking Directly Through A&A Is a Good Idea

Book directly through a&a because you see it 24 days in advance of folks on united and virgin and other partner airlines. Transferring from amex points usually take about two three days for the points to arrive. If an award seat is released in the morning and you don't try and book until the afternoon those are hours that have gone by that someone could have taken one of those seats. The exact release time after speaking with agents will tell you when you call in and you ask them is nine a.m. Tokyo time.
