The Big Picture

We’re seeing rare United cardmember-only business class availability from San Francisco (SFO) and Los Angeles (LAX) to Tokyo (NRT) for 100,000 miles one way, with 2 seats available on many dates from July through September 2026. This pricing is exclusively available to United cardholders and is one of the few ways to lock in peak summer business class to Japan at a predictable rate — and it will not last long.

Flights are operated nonstop by United Airlines, with minimal taxes and fees of just $6 outbound and $45 on the return. Outbound space is fairly strong from early July through the end of August, but return options are more limited. Book before it’s too late!
