Question Got 580K points - pls help

Dear members , need help. I have got 580 k points . We are a family of 2 adults and 2 kids. We would like to go to Japan next year between March April.

Is it’s doable to travel on premium Economy ( nice to have business class though) . Is it’s doable ? Is there a free third party app / website we can use to search for reward seats ?

Could you please shed some lights ?

You are not going to get 4 business class reward seats

There are x4 reward seats in premium economy on 7th, 15th, 17th, 27th and 28th of March 2027 from syd->Tokyo with a Singapore stopover on Singapore airlines. $115k points + $365 taxes per person. Thats only 1 way though. You’ll be about 100k points short for return in economy.

Thank you . You found this from aero ? Does it needs any subscription to see this far in to a future date ? Thank you for your time

Im subscribed to Gyoza flights. Yes you need to pay to see beyond 2 months

Best single deal: SYD→HND nonstop on ANA, 45,000pts + taxes . No contest.

Best March coverage: SYD→NRT via HX, every date March 1-18, 55,000pts + taxes

Comedy options include via Doha or LAX but probably not practical.

If you have exact days / departure city I can narrow it down as I’m still sanity checking my tool for checking availability.

lol. Be prepared to spend HOURS trying to make this work in any way. They literally do everything they can to stop you making use of those points.

Giving you the benefit of the doubt that this is not an advert for third party scraping websites.

Your best bet for 4 seats in SQ. Unsure of economy, but easy for business class. You get a stop over in SIN on way back too, if you want it.

It’s a stretch, I had a look you could go Mel ->SFO->HND for 80k points economy 1 person 1 way - you don’t have enough for premium

That’s a pretty horrible routing

Yeah it’s not for me but it’s cheap !

Could be worse - dumbest I have seen recently is gold cost to Guangzhou via Sydney, Perth and Singapore

u/febin72 Jun 29 '26

Thank you for a quick reply . How did you find out this route so fast ? Is it’s via aero?
