American AAdvantage: Business Class to Tokyo for 60,000 Miles (May 2026)

American AAdvantage is showing business class award space from Los Angeles to Tokyo Narita for 60,000 miles plus $6 in taxes, which is about 48% below the typical redemption rate for this route.

This award availability is on May 4, 2026, flying from LAX to NRT. At 60,000 miles, it's a solid redemption for transpacific business class, especially considering this route typically prices at around 115,000 miles through American's program.

The savings here are notable—you're looking at keeping 55,000 miles in your account compared to what you'd normally spend. The $6 in taxes keeps out-of-pocket costs minimal, which is always welcome on partner awards to Asia.

One important caveat: there's only one seat available on this flight. That makes this a better fit for solo travelers or anyone whose companion can book a separate itinerary. Award space to Japan can be unpredictable, so if your dates are flexible, this is worth grabbing quickly.

If you're planning a family trip and need multiple seats, it's still worth searching nearby dates—when one day opens up at saver rates, adjacent dates sometimes have availability too.
