At about 1,840 miles from Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) to Tokyo's Narita International Airport (NRT), a nonstop runs roughly 4h10, give or take with the winds. Four airlines carry nonstop award space in the data, including ANA, Japan Airlines, and Cathay Pacific. The Boeing 787-8 appears on some of those nonstop award segments. Most award options in the data connect. Nonstops are just about 13% of the total.
Hong Kong–Tokyo rewards discipline: redeem only when points beat what the ticket costs in cash. The economy floor connects once; a nonstop on any of the four carriers costs more and may not be offered in economy. The cheapest economy seat adds about $81 in taxes and fees, in line with the route's typical economy taxes. Run the miles-or-cash math each time: a cheap fare usually beats spending points. Transfers out of bank programs can't be reversed, so confirm the exact flight is bookable first.
Alaska Atmos Rewards wins economy at 7,500 points, premium economy at 10,000, and business class at 15,000. Air Canada Aeroplan's 60,000-point first-class fare connects; treat it as mixed-cabin until each segment's cabin checks out. The first-class routing changes airports in Shanghai, from Hongqiao (SHA) to Pudong (PVG), so allow transfer time. The other five programs include Delta SkyMiles, American AAdvantage, and Avianca LifeMiles. Economy and premium economy are partner awards on Starlux Airlines too.
Nonstop award space on Hong Kong–Tokyo includes ANA, Japan Airlines, and Cathay Pacific, among other carriers in the data. Beyond the nonstop, the cheaper connecting awards in the data change planes in Taipei. In business class, the floor sits on Starlux Airlines but books through Alaska Atmos Rewards, a partner redemption.
On the Tokyo side, Haneda (HND) prices higher at 15,000 points in economy versus the 7,500-point floor, so keep it for dates when Narita is sold out. Haneda has nonstop flights from Hong Kong in the data too. Hong Kong to Bangkok prices the same, from 7,500 points at last check.
