Depends if you're trying to book economy vs business. For economy, you can easily search throughout the year and many flights will have 4+ seats bookable with miles. For business, your best bet is to book refundable economy cash tickets then search T-14 days from departure for business class seats bookable with points. Searching close in is probably the best way to fly a family in business. Or if you're willing to book 2 business + 2 economy tickets, then you have a better chance finding availability throughout the year.

Exactly

Yes choose the middle seats if your priority is to be close enough to chat with your husband! If you're in the front cabin, choose an odd numbered row. If you're in the rear business cabin, take rows either 10 or 12.

Should be instant. But in my experience, there's sometimes a slight delay if its your first time transferring to a new transfer partner so just keep that in mind.

Thanks for all the support!

PointsYeah & seats.aero are always my go-to's

Enjoy the flight!

Always best to search one-way

Thanks!

Haha very true

Lmao I'm going to start a new segment on my channel comparing taxes/fees or annual fees to bowls of Chipotle to show people how worth it these cards/redemptions are

Yep! Check out the most recent vid on my channel where I covered the elevated CSP bonus

Yep, plenty of room for both lie flat and reclining!

Polaris bedding was very comfortable imo. No issues at all with space!

What is your preferred airline for international European travel?

That's most likely correct, fare (I) specifically indicates the award seat should be bookable with other Star Alliance partners

Your best bet is transferring Amex pts to Aeromexico at a 1:1.6 ratio which is actually solid. With that said, make sure you find a solid deal on Aeromexico before transferring any points. Then book your seats over the phone, Aeromexico's website + app are very difficult to book award seats with.

@@__withMark Thanks for your help! I have a question regarding my frequent travels between Laredo, TX, and Cancun, where we have another house. Given my situation, what do you think would be the best strategy for me in terms of which airport to fly from? Should I consider Laredo, TX, Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, or San Antonio, TX? Additionally, what kind of reward points or airline loyalty programs would you recommend I focus on to maximize my benefits?

My rec for you is to use a site like PointsYeah.com to make your search easier, esp flying from a smaller airport such as Laredo to another smaller airport in Mexico. That will save you a ton of time in searching

You won't face any issues if you're booked economy on a different airline and then book business on Japan Airlines / United. Ofc cancel the economy flight shortly after. If say you're booked Japan Airlines economy and then book business for the same flight, cancel the economy flight as soon you book business because otherwise you may run into issues if you dont. I've read the JAL policy and they'll cancel bookings if its the same passenger on the same flight in multiple seats.

Now this is a good suggestion 🙌🏾

Best of luck!

Definitely possible but difficult. ANA will sometimes stop providing award seats for busy periods such as cherry blossoms since they know they can fill those seats with customers paying cash. My recommendation is be flexible on which airport you depart from and search daily around 14 days from departure.

Did a quick search and I see JFK-HND flights on ANA around 5-7 days from departure. Make sure to have the Non-Stop filter on so its easier to find the 100K seat options. Keep in mind JFK is probably the most difficult airport to book seats from so keep checking as your departure date approaches. Hope that helps!
