For up to four travelers (and possibly more), FCF’s research team has discovered an opportunity to save up to $5,020/65% if you don’t have any miles and want to pay in cash or 120,000 miles when compared to normal/everyday prices traveling to/from Asia.

Sample Savings via American Express, Capital One, and Citi’s points-to-miles transfer partnership with Cathay Pacific: San Francisco to Tokyo’s normal/everyday price can often be 240,000 miles when using American miles, but if you use Amex Points partner Cathay Pacific miles, the cost can be as low as 150,000 miles.
