Hi All,

Hoping to get some guidance here about what some of the better redemption are going from the West Coast to Asia in December, ideally business one way, coach the other (have 135K miles, so thats how it would work out). Outbound Dec 13th +/- a couple days, Return Dec 30th, minus a couple days is ok.

So far I have looked at:

Aeroplan - Limited full business availability (usually economy on the long leg, business on the short one), overall not great.

Singapore - due to the routing rules, you cannot go SFO-SGN on any 1-way award ticket that is not at full fare (which is an unreasonable amount of miles). There is plenty of availability in business on those flights when you look RT, but not 1 way. One possibility is to book Business SFO-SIN then SIN-SGN on another award, but would cost about 120K 1-way, as opposed to the usual 101K.

I signed up for ANA but do not have my membership card yet so I cannot search anything, but I believe that availability would show @ united or Aeroplan for which I do not see anything but economy.

Are any of the other partners going to be helpful? I tried to search BA and it gave me absolutely zero results on any day, I assume because they think most people wont fly to Europe just to get to Asia.

Thanks for the help!
