They still offer it for 70,000, but of course dates aren't what you need in peak summer.

FYI: Summer vacation for Japanese in school is generally end of July to end of August.
Partner redemptions on AA are still not dynamic, so if you find JL J space it will be 60k. 70k is if you can find F space. (Side note: if you do find the elusive F space on a scheduled new A350 flight—take it!!)

The problem is finding space. The TPAC award space world we live in now is very different from the world in 2022.
