ADVICE

Prioritize Foreign Carriers

  • Prioritize foreign carriers like ANA or Japan Airlines over US carriers for better flight experiences.
  • Consider Zip Air for budget-friendly options, but you can't book it with points.
ADVICE

Booking Japan Airlines with Miles

  • Book Japan Airlines using American Airlines miles (60k for business, 80k for first).
  • Consider Cathay Pacific or British Airways for earlier booking access (but at higher rates).
ADVICE

Booking ANA with Points

  • Book ANA using Virgin Atlantic points (transferable from major banks, 52k one-way business).
  • Book more than two weeks in advance due to Virgin Atlantic's limitations.
