An estimate is not a booking. Award space comes and goes, and the best routing for your dates takes real searching. We do the searching, you book in your own accounts.

How this works: flight costs use published one-way business class saver prices checked in late October 2026: ANA business to Tokyo through Virgin Atlantic Flying Club (60,000 from the East Coast, 52,500 from the West Coast) and Star Alliance business to Seoul through Air Canada Aeroplan (about 87,500 East, 75,000 West). Amex and Chase both transfer to Virgin and Aeroplan at 1:1. Hotel nights use typical standard award prices for Hyatt properties; Amex points do not transfer to Hyatt, so hotel nights are covered from Chase. The Tokyo to Seoul hop on the open jaw is assumed paid in cash. Taxes and fees are extra. Prices, ratios, and space change often, so always confirm on the airline or hotel site before transferring points, because transfers cannot be undone. This is travel information only, not financial advice, and we do not recommend any credit card.
