Best way to get 2 business/first class award tickets 1+ year out
Am trying to book 2 business/first class award tickets from NYC/IAD/ORD (flexible) to Tokyo for our honeymoon, sometime late October or November 2020. I have 180k+ MR, and a similar number of UR for transferring to Virgin. We are open to having 1 business, 1 first class since I don't see 2 award tickets of the same class available.
What is the best way for me to accomplish this? Looking 1 year out, it seems that availability disappears pretty quickly. ANA is showing that 1 year out, there's typically 1 business class and 1 first class availability. I was thinking that I would book the first class through Virgin, and the business class through ANA. However, does Virgin not have access to the same inventory until a few weeks later? It seems that these availabilities disappear by then.
Appreciate any advice on this.
Thanks
