Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book your award flights for travel to Japan from Seattle (SEA) in late January to early February, as availability often opens up significantly after the holiday season and remains favorable through the winter months.

Sweet Spot

You can fly round-trip in business class from Tokyo to Los Angeles for 60,000 Alaska Airlines miles, which typically costs around $3,500 in cash.

Routing Trick

Book a round-trip from Seattle (SEA) to Tokyo (NRT) via Los Angeles (LAX) instead of flying direct, saving approximately 5,000 miles compared to the direct route, as Alaska Airlines allows stopovers on award tickets.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid booking flights with American Airlines on routes like New York to Los Angeles, where you may face high fees totaling around $75 for award ticket taxes and surcharges.
