San Francisco → Tokyo Business November 2026
Japan Airlines Business Class to Tokyo for 60K Miles — Nonstop from San Francisco
San Francisco (SFO) to Tokyo (HND), Business, One Way.
Japan Airlines business class nonstop from San Francisco to Tokyo Haneda is bookable for 60,000 American AAdvantage miles each way plus $6 in taxes. Cash for the same seat in early November runs about $4,230 one-way, which puts this at roughly 7 cents per point — one of the strongest redemptions to Asia we've tracked this year. Availability runs November through February and tends to move in minutes rather than days, so confirm the seats are live before you transfer anything.
Go to aa.com and select "Redeem miles" before you enter anything else. You don't need to be logged in to search award space.
Choose "One way," enter SFO to HND, and set the total number of passengers. Searching one direction at a time is far easier than hunting for matching round-trip space.
Set the cabin to "Business / First" and search.
Click the "Calendar" tab on the results page. This is the important step — it shows award pricing across the full month instead of a single date, and it's how you spot the 60K days.
Filter to "Nonstop" and look for flights operated by Japan Airlines. A 60,000-mile business fare with $6 in taxes is the one you want.
Only once you have live seats on screen, transfer 60,000 points from Citi to AAdvantage. Transfers are usually instant.
Return to the same search and complete the booking. If the seats vanished while you were transferring, check the surrounding dates — space often shuffles rather than disappearing outright.
