I’m trying to book first class tickets LAX to Tokyo for summer next year and I’m not able to find anything. Is it normally so hard to find availability? I have 350k Amex pts and am hoping to book 2 RTs

Lots of choices - JAL, ANA, plus US three. What airline are you trying on? And are you only looking for first or also business? Summer can be difficult…

Looking at ANA via Virgin, Aeroplan and direct and not seeing anything out of LAX. Some options for a single ticket on business via Aeroplan but that’s it

Tix may not be available yet. Some airlines don't sell more than 9 months in advance.

Try booking through ANA, it'll cost you a little but more 110k vs 150k but you'll have more options (entire star alliance)

Sign up for ANA FF program and transfer your points there they are cheaper than most other options...otherwise, go to with Air Canada and collect 20% bonus miles before end of month.

About to relocate to the Bay Area and need to find an apt, current TC is 300k with 180k base. For me, view and the place I live in is really important, so I would like to rent a 3.5k place I really love instead of 2k studio. What would the 1.5k delta (per month) bring to me to make me happy in the event I go with the 2k studio? I am having a hard time thinking of the happiness the additional 18k would bring to me, on top of everything I am already saving/investing.
