Thanks to all the people at FT I have been able to collect a reasonable amount of miles in various programs in the last six months. The main purpose of this is to take my wife on a trip to Japan, sometime in 2011-2012 or later. I will plan the dates around whatever works best for award availability and don't mind waiting if I need to book 330 days out.

The question being, what would be the most "comfortable" way to get TWO people roundtrip from SFO (or other nearby airport) to just about any airport in Japan (Narita, Haneda, Osaka)?

I am currently working with:

AA: ~140,000
UA: ~53,000
Amex MR: 70,000+

I also anticipate having about 15,000 more UA miles in the next 6 months.

If all else fails, i figure we will go ANA economy for 80K MR. It would be nice to go Business or First for at least one leg of the trip, but ANA doesnt seem to have one way awards to combine with other segments.

I am definitely looking forward to any suggestions no matter how unconventional, even if I need to gain more miles in any of the programs.
