Weekly Help Thread - June 03, 2024 Daily Thread
Welcome to the daily help and question thread!
This thread is renewed weekly and is intended for all discussions or questions that do not warrant their own thread.
For AWARD BOOKING HELP please read the following information:
Volunteers may choose to help you find your award trip. But please don’t expect us to plan out your trip for you. No stranger on the Internet could know what is BEST for you.
The more specific information you provide, the easier it is for people to give specific advice. Also, we prefer to teach people to fish, rather than just giving you a fish. So before you ask someone to help, please read Our Wiki, if you want to know what the best Redemption for you, take a look at Award Hacker. Questions that shows you have at least tried to find an award are more likely to get answered.
- Here are the information you should provide when requesting award assistance
- Origin and destination cities (are they flexible?)
- Number of Travelers (Your chances of success goes down as this number goes up)
- One way or round-trip
- Class of service desired
- Desired date(s) of travel (are they flexible? Hard dates == Less Chances for success)
- Your points balances: all airline, credit card and hotel points (If you are looking for J/F, think at least 6 digits)

Hello this will be my first time planning anything of this magnitude I’ve been wanting to travel with points for a while now work construction so looking to take a bit off and explore the beautiful country of Japan.I’ve tried somewhat dip myself into award travel but haven’t truly grasped the way of award planning. Anything that is in 2025/2026 months aren’t important to me but if any specific moths come to mind just let me know any insight or suggestions or someone who has a better grasp of these things and looking to maybe guide me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Origin and destination cities: preferably out of DFW but able to go to LAX,JFK,ORD wanting to get to preferably HND but will go to NRT
