Have 145k AAdvantage miles saved up for a 2 person Japan trip next summer. Cutting it close the saver rates of 35k per person per flight, which could hinder flight flexibility. It worth getting another SUB, or is this usually a good enough stockpile for 2 people?

Look into booking through British Airways instead of AA. The flights are the same but the mileage is fixed and availability is usually higher. You can get a SUB or transfer in from Amex

That is awful advice

2x one way in first on JAL. Another SUB/card to fly to/from in economy.
