As an aside, I am using a tool called Expertflyer to search award seats - but Cathay is not an option. Any good advice on trying to search their award seats?
NH and SQ miles are redeemable on UA domestic flights too, in case availability to TYO does not open up after you transfer your points in.
Why are you interested in CX award availability? I thought you only wanted nonstop flights from the U.S. to Tokyo.
