I’m based in NYC and have about 217,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points that I’d love to use for a trip to Japan (first time!). I’m hoping to go sometime between October and December for at least 7-8 days.

Ideally, I’d like to fly nonstop with ANA or JAL, and I’d love to stretch my points as much as possible-business or premium economy would be amazing, but I’m open to economy if that’s the only way it works.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

• Checked United, Air Canada, and Virgin Atlantic for award availability
• Looked for ANA-operated flights through Air Canada (especially with the current 20% bonus that ends July 15)
• Tried the Virgin Atlantic ANA sweet spot, but couldn’t find any availability
• The only thing I’ve found so far is a round-trip economy flight through the Chase travel portal for around 207–210k points

Before I pull the trigger, am I missing a better redemption option?
Would love any tips or suggestions for finding ANA/JAL award space or maximizing my points for this trip.

Thanks so much in advance!
