If you can find the JAL award space either direction for me we can call it an even trade.

BTW a couple years ago I tried to pull off the 10,000 Starwood to JAL to book Bangkok Air BKK to Siem Reap. Would have been a pretty good redemption. It did not work out. Never transfer to a program that requires you to call for a specific award over and over to get a spot. The blogs made it sound easy.

Since they are going to expire after 3 years I may just buy a bookbag off their terrible award portal.

Any other ideas?

ETA: I am figuring out how to find JAL seats on their website so you better act fast!

Figuring out Alaska Air too. That seems more workable than using BA's site or am I wrong on that? Cathay still the best I think since it can go on to Yangon if I go that route. Been using Qantas for that one. I feel pretty good about finding availability between these options. Hope that isn't false hope.
