However, trying to book this sort of thing 2 months in advance will always be difficult. There are 2 Finnair business class seats Helsinki to Narita on June 22nd, not sure if you can connect to these somehow.
Is there any other options for using the miles? I mean can't I purchase tickets and use the miles to upgrade the international leg of the trip? or something?
If not, does anyone know of any promotions to buy one business/1st and get one free/free companion ticket/etc? credit card deals? Or even an agency that sells deep discounted 1st/business class tickets?
