It's one of the best sweet spots in the world of points and miles: You can book Japan Airlines business or first class using miles from the frequent flyer programs of its U.S. partners, like American Airlines and Alaska Airlines.
It's a redemption that has plenty of nostalgia for me, too.
Japan Airlines was my first major mileage redemption back in 2016. I booked a one-way ticket to Tokyo in first class for just 80,000 American Airlines AAdvantage miles. I'll never forget the sense of victory I felt when I scored that trip.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on The Points Guy Articles.
