Do you plan on spending fewer points with Virgin Atlantic or less cash with United Airlines? Let me know in the comments!

Very clear guidance. Thank you Mark! I will use Air Canada Aeroplan to book recently because there is 20% transfer bonus and the fees are way less than Virgin, another reason is we don’t have to call Virgin😂

Thanks for watching! If you find availability on United for Fare Class (I), then call Aeroplan to see if you can book with them. I've seen discussion online that this sometimes works with Aeroplan when you typically can't book online.

Why is it when I follow your steps, the only things that pop up are 200K+ miles on it?

Moving to Japan July 3rd , hasn’t been availability for a while but still checking everyday

Straight to the point and not trying to sell credit cards. Keep it up.

Love the content 😊, great info short concise I’ll try using this when booking my trip to Japan later this year, thank you

Best of luck!

Great guide Mark, it's a dream of mine to someday fly in The Room on points. Likely will have to take the last minute booking approach, since that gives the best shot at finding availability as you said.

I can’t get United site to show JFK flights- so no ANA. Any suggestions?

Did a quick search and I see JFK-HND flights on ANA around 5-7 days from departure. Make sure to have the Non-Stop filter on so its easier to find the 100K seat options. Keep in mind JFK is probably the most difficult airport to book seats from so keep checking as your departure date approaches. Hope that helps!

Curious…if I call virgin to book a flight that is not class (I) will they just tell me that this flight is not eligible for award redemption?

That's most likely correct, fare (I) specifically indicates the award seat should be bookable with other Star Alliance partners

I want to get ANA award seats for 2 people during cherry blossom seats is this possible with 2 people? also is it safe and reliable to wait for the last 14 days to travel and look for tickets. Whenever I look at the same details as everyone else that says it’s 60k points I’m always seeing 200k and 400k etc points

Definitely possible but difficult. ANA will sometimes stop providing award seats for busy periods such as cherry blossoms since they know they can fill those seats with customers paying cash. My recommendation is be flexible on which airport you depart from and search daily around 14 days from departure.

So it's almost impoosible to book a round trip and you have to search by one ways?
