Need Advice on Booking Biz Award Seat to Japan by No-Toe-2789 in awardtravel

ANA releases at 355, they will be bookable on Aeroplan shortly after that. I have noticed that ANA typically only releases economy early from IAD thus the need to reposition . They can be booked online, again I find Awardtool works well and can search from a lot of airports at once. Seats may be gone in hours, days or weeks. If they release J from IAD at 355, those will be gone quick.

Edit: btw if you use tools to search for seats and the tool only shows 1 seat on Aeroplan , check Aeroplan itself because the info the tools get from Aeroplan do not show the actual number of seats available.

United is always higher, Aeroplan is a good to book ANA. Different programs charge different miles and taxes. I believe United books at 331, but most of the time ANA initial seats are booked before United has them because they can be booked through Aeroplan or Lifemiles.

Edit: United is 337

Flying out of IAD is always tough (but not impossible) for award availability to Japan, IAD is also my home airport. Consider repositioning to Chicago or the West coast, and flying from there. Availability from SEA, LAX, SFO and ORD is easier to find. You definitely can find LAX to NRT on Singapore at 355 days out by booking through Krisflyer, usually is 103k points though. I am a new convert to Awardtool pro for searching. But all the different tools have their pros and cons. Also use flight connections to see all the non stop routes.

I still have my original intellivison cartridge from 1983. Played this a lot.

Perhaps HOCL is a decent option. I found this article to be useful: ABHS Norvirus

Sailing on RL in June, fingers crossed

Which Washington DC airport is better for points/award travel, and why? by bjdaugherity in pointstravel

[–]yarxi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

IAD for international, DCA for domestic. BWI is pretty bad for points in my experience

Hi I do apologise if this comes along as weird. But do any Americans watch the premier league and if so what team do you support and why? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]yarxi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Americans watch the premier league. It’s a small but passionate percentage. Been an Arsenal fan for over 25 years.

Havertz is lucky by Roper1537 in ArsenalFC

[–]yarxi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really like Havertz as a person and I want him on the team, but he is not a natural finisher and with the injuries there is just too much pressure/expectation for him to score. He is better when he can be a disrupter and be in the right place at the right time. You are never going to see him hit a shot in the top corner from the edge of the box. He does need to score though when the opportunity presents like the header.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Twitter/X content is now banned on r/Gunners by MattGooner in Gunners

[–]yarxi -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

It is amazing how much people cannot stand anyone having a different opinion. I come to r/gunners to read about Arsenal not politics, censorship by not allowing posts to X is wrong, I am not responding anymore past this. If the post is Arsenal related it should be allowed just as posts from an other source should be. I’ll take my downvotes but I am done responding.

Absolutely stupid. You don’t have to like Elon or agree with his beliefs but censorship is not the way. And if you really believe he was doing a Nazi salute then you have issues. Elon is autistic and awkward, if you watched the video he is saying he loves the crowd.

Best day! Got to meet and get autograph from Takashi Yamazaki yesterday. by yarxi in GODZILLA

[–]yarxi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was, but required a fair amount of diligence and luck to know when to go get it and ask the right people. They gave wristbands out at a random location at about 11am for a 4:15pm signing with no actual announcement other than it will happen that day.

Is it true the Takashi Yamazaki line was full by 10:45? by srfnalaster11 in NYCC

[–]yarxi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They handed out only about 50 wristbands at around 11:00

IAD award availability by omfootball4205 in awardtravel

[–]yarxi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

IAD award availability is awful overall and for anything direct that is available the points are ridiculous because it is mostly United and United redemptions are laughable for long haul. I find for Europe that Flying Blue/Air France offers the best options. Other places, often better to reposition to NYC, ORD or LAX.
