The Big Picture

Award space to Japan is wide open on most dates in January and February 2026. Nonstop flights operated by American Airlines from JFK, DFW, and LAX are available for 25,000 miles, bookable directly on American Airlines’ website. One-stop itineraries are also appearing in searches at the same 25,000-mile price point, so double-check before booking to ensure you’re selecting the nonstop option you prefer.

Be sure to also check departures from your home airport, as many connecting routes are pricing the same at 25,000 miles. All dates below have confirmed availability for at least two economy seats, and up to nine seats are available on most days—perfect for families or groups traveling together.

Taxes and fees are minimal, running $6 for nonstop outbound flights and $6–$11 for one-stop itineraries, while return flights range from $44–$50.
