Taking a preliminary glance at the prices for the summer of 2024, I must admit they seem exorbitant. The upcoming Tokyo trip might be the sole reason I'd consider using miles to offset the costs or potentially cover the entire trip with mileage redemption.
Business class flights US to Tokyo on JL are often available for 60k miles each way. It's one of the easier "sweet spot" deals to book. Unless you are booking for 3 people, you don't need that many miles.
