70k points! I thought my redemption of 44k MSP CDG HAN in business class was noteworthy, but damn! I have yet to fly first. What’s your advice in terms of which airline’s first class is easiest to achieve?
@clearedfortravel8 ай бұрын
Ya 70k Alaska miles for this flight was an incredible redemption. Now eliminated as Alaska has devalued their program this month. ANA first is still pretty achievable using virgin Atlantic miles for about 70k miles. It’s not quite as amazing as JAL but still a great deal. You can find ANA award availability on United, then call virgin Atlantic to book with miles. Several banks transfer to VA like chase.

Well good thing is probably no one sat in that seat for a really long time. So no need to sanitize just wipe down. Wish they still should dust once in a while. Love your videos.

Yeah it’s extremely pricey. Personally, i thought the product and service was just as good as Emirates. And so convenient to have a direct flight if you’re heading to Japan.

How is curry “traditional” japanese?.. Japanese curry is a widely consumed food in Japan but idk why anyone would call it anything close to traditional. Anyway thanks for showing us the western dishes of a Japanese Airliner. Your palette is so diverse 🎉.. Might I suggest British Airways next time instead.. seems it would be more palatable for you.

$30k is an obscene amount of money to spend on any flight. There really is no justification for it and you definitely didn’t get your money’s or points worth.
@clearedfortravel8 ай бұрын
I agree about the cash price but it was definitely worth the points. 70k miles is what most people pay for a domestic rt economy flight these days so to use them for an international first class flight to Japan is quite a value.

@@jamesmoninger1982 Sure. I prefer the window seat, it’s extremely private, you get first choice of meal & fastest service. And on JAL it opens up to another empty suite so it’s easy to use the next door suite for bedroom if unoccupied.
