Hi everyone,

First time Flyertalk poster have. Currently have over 330,000 Amex MR and looking to book 3 business class tickets to go to Japan for a 9 day trip between June 17th and July 2nd 2023 (with some flexibility on dates with in that time period). Would be looking for 2 business class tickets from SFO and one from either DC area airports or New York area airports. Been reading up on a few strategies such as booking with Virgin but I wanted your opinion on what is a fairly safe way to go about doing this given that we are planning over a year out
