Hey fellow travel enthusiasts! I'm planning a trip to Asia next year and I'm looking to maximize my AAdvantage miles for a business class experience. I've been collecting miles mainly through my Citi AAdvantage Platinum Select card, and currently have around 150,000 miles.
I'm considering destinations like Tokyo (HND/NRT), Seoul (ICN), or Bangkok (BKK). I'd love to hear your strategies on finding award availability and any tips on booking through partner airlines like Japan Airlines or Cathay Pacific. I've heard that JAL's business class is exceptional, and I'm aiming for a memorable flight experience.
Also, are there any other routes or destinations within Asia that offer great value for AAdvantage miles? I'm flexible with travel dates and open to creative routings if it means a better experience or redemption value.
Lastly, if anyone has insights on accessing lounges at these airports, especially with Oneworld status, I'd appreciate the info. Looking forward to your suggestions and experiences!
