Tokyo Business Award Availability
I'm looking to take a trip from the US to Tokyo next March with my wife and 8 year old son. I started searching availability in business for March 2022 on ANA and can find quite a few days with 2 open seats, but nothing with 3. Does anyone know if ANA ever opens more than 2 seats when opening their schedule? Any ideas on how I'd be able to get three tickets in business via miles (I'm assuming I'm out of luck but figured I'd ask around first)? If not, does anyone have any other ideas on the best way to get three tickets in business to Tokyo using MR points?

We're considering it, but really trying to avoid it if at all possible. Was hoping to find a better alternative if possible. The other thought (however, we don't have enough MR points currently) was to book 2 in business class and try and get the third ticket in first.

You’d have to connect through Seoul but I understand Asiana is known for having good premium class availability (historically at least 4 J / 2 F per flight, though I’m not sure if this is still the case). They’re in Star Alliance so should also be bookable with ANA miles.

Thanks, I’ll have to look into that!
