I am located in Florida. My ideal airport is PBI but can go FLL or MIA if that's better.
Dates are flexible. Was originally thinking November due to off-peak economy on American, but am now more open. Would love to stay longer but think I'd go broke buying things
Having the other person apply isn't currently an option.
Thanks!
AA off-peak Y to Japan runs Oct-Apr so you have quite a window if you're not against flying in Y. If you're intent on J/F then that's another story. Keep in mind if you end up going with a plan that has you dependent on additional cards, you'll need time to earn and post the miles.
Lots of good options in Tokyo, low and high end, besides the usual western chains that give little of the local flavor.
NH forum had discussions of NH charging YQ on UA redemptions but doesn't seem to currently be an issue according to the thread.
