YVR-NRT with JL for 150k Avios a good redemption?
It's been suggested that YVR-NRT for 50k Avios on JL is a good deal. The unfortunate part is that the tax is about C$261.80. The tax alone is roughly 1/3 the price of cash fare. I'm really not sure if this is a good redemption.
I looked at the J-fare for YVR-NRT, but that requires 150k Avios. The taxes is also 261.80. The cash fare is about C$6800 at the moment. However, the amount of Avios required for this trip seems a bit excessive. I do have Avios to use, but I do want to get some good value out of whatever redemption I pick.
What do you guys think?
