In the link, I'm not sure if he used AA or just simply called AA and use BA avios. If it can't be done, I guess I can stick with united and fly coach for the long trip. JAL first class seemed very nice. I don't have a nippon airways account yet, does anyone know how many points they need for first class?
You've signed up for the wrong card if redeeming AA award is what you want. Also AA F r/t award between US and Japan will go up to 160,000 miles soon.
