This award seat is available for travel on April 21, 2026, flying from LAX to Tokyo Narita. At 60,000 miles, you're saving roughly 10,000 miles compared to the typical 70,000-mile rate for Premium Economy on this transpacific route. Taxes and fees are minimal at just $6.
The catch here is availability: there's only one seat left at this price. That makes this better suited for a solo traveler or someone scouting options for a points redemption. If you need multiple seats, you may want to keep searching for other dates.
April is a popular time to visit Japan, falling right in the middle of cherry blossom season in many regions. Premium Economy offers a meaningful upgrade over standard economy on a 11-plus hour flight, with extra legroom, better meal service, and priority boarding.
Practical tip: If you're flexible on dates, search a few days in either direction. Award space to Japan can open and close quickly, especially during peak spring travel season.
