ANA award availability.. am I missing something?
To explain the background, I have around 68000 miles on AMC, and i'm debating whether to convert them to 34000 JL miles (yes, there are ways, through various points transfer program if you are patient enough yo go through the processes) or just to keep the miles as it is in hope if redeeming it in future. I mainly fly OW due to corporate contracts and have OWE status on JL. However I don't have any status on NH. I looked at NH award availability and am shocked at the state. For the next 5 months even for presumably 'easier' asian routes to redeem like Jakarta, HCM etc shows almost no availability, all waitlisted.. a quick comparison for JAL shows reasonable availabilities even 3 months out. Is there anything I'm missing in this comparison?
