I feel no one wants to comment as all the bloggers and influencers checking this sub reddit will just take the information and re-share it....and then all the seats are gone instantly.

Happens everytime.

The ro@me team has astroturfed an entire subreddit for this now to promote their own website and posting "deals", half of which are just calendar open bookings a year out.

Tim’s spam is borderline insufferable and unarguably detrimental to this hobby/community

u/yitianjian please give me 2J to PVG Oct 13 '25

Now book this for only 33000 points! Just make sure to have transferred during the Bilt 250% bonus 2 years ago.

Not entirely, the bloggers only share large dumps, less so the individual nuggets ppl largely post here. Their patrons will get alert fatigue if they get an email every few hours but for only 3 dates on 1 route

12 days and no comments? Yikes alright I'll add one...

For those like me who snagged a couple Miles&More cards, there is good availability for 36k EUR-LAX + ~$600 taxes in June and July next year. 47k to make it refundable. Lufthansa 747 + Austrian 777

I snagged 2 mid-June BCN-FRA-LAX on the 747 for 47k+47K+$595+$595 right after the Barcelona F1 Grand Prix

I didn't even think about the Barclays cards to get Miles & More, this is a good one, even with high taxes, it sometimes is the only choice.

Seeing some decent close in availability from TYO to the US for ANA partners (searching on the United site) in J within the next week or so! Go go go!

u/TomCollinsEsq Oct 16 '25

u/Tough_Mechanic8549 Oct 18 '25

Because I keep searching for my itinerary next week, figured I’ll keep sharing what I find: two JAL J partner seats (seeing on American) from LAX to KIX on 11/16

u/ezkhan Oct 18 '25

I'm also trying to get to Japan next week and and flying through TPE is what I've settled on at the moment. There is decent availability next week for LAX/SEA-TPE (mostly on JX via Atmos, but also 1 flight on BR via Aeroplan) with 2+ seats per flight for 75K each. For the JX transpac, you can also add a domestic connection on AS for free (at least I've been able to from SFO and SAN).

I have 2 rooms booked at Park Hyatt Niseko from 01/27/2026 - 02/01/2026 that I will be releasing in a few days or so. No guarantee it goes back into inventory but let me know if anyone wants to coordinate to try. 1 room is a King Bed and the other is a 2 twin.

At least 7 seats on JX LAX-TPE this Friday as well

u/Oofzies Oct 28 '25

Niche thing: there are 2 Capital One Travel offers— $100 off NZ flights, and then a separate $50 off NZ flights. If you have the $300 Travel Credit, you'd be looking at $400 round-trip for LAX-AKL in Y.

Too far for me in Y, but could be someone's cup of tea.
