The Big Picture

Finding saver award availability to Japan during peak season can be quite the challenge. Luckily we found availability to Tokyo (HND/NRT) in March 2026 from across the US (BOS, JFK, ORD, LAX, SFO, SEA) for as low as 40,000 per person, one way in premium economy. This is flying direct on American Airlines or Japan Airlines, and booking through Alaska.

While direct transfers from AMEX to Alaska Airlines aren’t available, you can transfer points to Hawaiian Airlines and then book through Alaska Airlines. Alternatively, you may also book these flights through other OneWorld partners like British Airways, Qantas, AA, or Cathay Pacific.

All of the dates below have confirmed availability for at least 2 passengers through Alaska. Please note availability may vary between programs. If you want to book beyond what is listed, other Oneworld partners may have further availability open. Expect to pay $20 per person each way in taxes.
