Singapore KrisFlyer First Class to Tokyo opens at 224.5K miles from LAX
As of July 7, 2026, Singapore KrisFlyer had three First Class seats open on the LAX-NRT route for early December at 224,500 miles per ticket, a 6.2 cent-per-point redemption against a $14,000 cash equivalent.
Singapore KrisFlyer's 777 First Class product to Tokyo (Narita) opened up from Los Angeles on two consecutive December dates, each showing three seats at the airline's standard First Class award rate.
The snapshot
| Route | Date | Points | Taxes & fees | Est. cash | cpp |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LAX-NRT | 2026-12-02 | 224,500 | not reported | $14,000 | 6.2 |
| LAX-NRT | 2026-12-03 | 224,500 | not reported | $14,000 | 6.2 |
Both dates reflected the First Class redemption rate for Singapore's long-haul Asia routes, as detailed in the airline's award chart.
Why it's worth it
A 6.2 cpp redemption on First Class is rare outside of promotional or error-level pricing. The LAX-NRT corridor via Singapore's 777 configuration ranks among the most desirable long-haul First Class products in the premium cabin landscape, competing directly with carriers like ANA and Japan Airlines on the same route. At $14,000 cash value per seat, this redemption extracts north of five cents per point of transferred currency (Chase Ultimate Rewards, Amex Membership Rewards, or Citi ThankYou Points all value at roughly 1 cent per point in cash redemption). The December 2 and 3 dates give a narrow window; First Class availability on US West Coast to Japan routes typically clears weeks ahead of departure.
How to book
Transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards, Amex Membership Rewards, or Citi ThankYou Points directly to Singapore KrisFlyer. Verify current availability on the Points Radar live calculator or at singaporeair.com before transferring. Singapore does not typically restrict First Class bookings to phone-only, but confirm seat maps and routing through their award search before committing points.
