Your wise perspectives appreciated

Not sure where you want to originate, but generally search the long haul segments first from an AA or OW Partner from a gateway city (e.g. SFO-NRT, JFK-MAD). Once you find a planAAhead award, then you can call to book it and tack on your domestic connecting route which will probably be coach, waitlisted to First. One quick check and I see SFO-NRT on JL for 60,000 points(one way) on multiple dates in April.
