LHR - DME - NRT Avios redemption

Apparently this needs to be priced by back office staff, so it takes a while. Does anyone know what it would cost in terms of Avios and tax. One way, in Y. I believe it’s off peak if that makes a difference?

The system won't price DME-NRT on JAL on BA.com either, so I don't know.

No LHR-NRT non-stop? That'd be less painful.

I’ve got the price for that single flight, but apparently with a connection it prices differently?

So in individual components I know LHR - DME and DME to NRT.

Would love to go direct, but there’s probably quite a few other people trying to fly out before the weekend....

What date you want to arrive, does carrier matter to you, what's max budget? Let's try it that way.

Again, needs to be back office priced, but a more comfortable routing in WTP/PE this Thursday:

Would not the price be the sum of the cost of these two segments? Different rules apply when there two OW partners but there is only one in this case.

It will be in terms of Avios cost. But the JAL pricing in Russian currency is what'll throw this off.

There are direct LHR-NRT seats in Premium Economy on BA tomorrow, Tue 29th, but at 39K Avios and £391 it's not budget.

Having got back from Japan this Saturday, I can confirm the current hotel prices are also high.

I want as cheap as possible. Not overly bothered about routing. Economy will do

Hotel wise, I’m planning on slumming it, so that will be what it is.
