Thanks much for the quick reply... will check out the TA option and the other websites. We are planning to meet up with some friends in Peking and celebrate our 20th anniversary later in Hong Kong so I thought a couple of days first in Tokyo might be nice.
I see NWA has awards for 40k each which not be a bad option under the circumstances.
