The 30,000 SkyMiles one-way price this post once covered has ended. What's still useful is which airlines fly Los Angeles (LAX) to Tokyo and how to search award seats with points.
ANA, Japan Airlines, American and United are reported to fly LAX to Tokyo nonstop. Schedules change by season, so confirm the flights for your dates on each airline's site.
Search Delta SkyMiles
Delta prices award tickets dynamically and publishes no award chart, so we don't quote a SkyMiles price for this route. The number delta.com shows for your date is the price.
Go to delta.com, set LAX as the origin and a Tokyo airport as the destination, and switch the search to Shop with Miles. Search each direction separately.
Search American AAdvantage
American also prices awards dynamically with no award chart. Search aa.com in award mode for LAX to Tokyo and compare the dates against Delta.
Fund the Booking With Transferable Points
Amex lists Delta SkyMiles and ANA Mileage Club as Membership Rewards transfer partners at 1:1. Amex's estimated transfer time is 48 hours to Delta and four days to ANA. Our Amex transfer partner guide has the full list.
See the seats and the price on the airline's site before you transfer.
Your Next Step
Run your dates on delta.com and aa.com first. If neither shows a price you like, try other dates before you move any points.
