Roughly 7,450 miles separate Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) and Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK), which is about 15h30 of flying at nonstop pace before any connection time. There's no nonstop in the award data: every itinerary connects.
On an ultra-long-haul trip like Seattle–Bangkok, pick the cabin before the program. The cheapest economy seat connects once, and with no nonstop in the data, extra points can buy a better connection but not a direct flight. Watch the cash on the economy floor: about $467 in taxes and fees, well above the route's typical economy taxes, so more points and less cash can win. Premium economy runs about 1.4 times the economy price and business about 1.9 times.
Virgin Atlantic Flying Club takes economy at 36,000 points. American AAdvantage is cheapest in premium economy at 50,000 points and business class at 70,000. The routing in premium economy and business class changes airports in Tokyo, from Narita (NRT) to Haneda (HND), so allow transfer time. American AAdvantage's 110,000-point first-class fare connects; treat it as mixed-cabin until each segment's cabin checks out. The first-class routing changes airports in Tokyo, from Narita (NRT) to Haneda (HND), so allow transfer time.
On this route, Air France (SkyTeam) holds one of the four cabin floors, so SkyTeam programs are a good first check. In economy, the floor sits on Air France, booked through SkyTeam partner Virgin Atlantic Flying Club. Award inventory here spans 42 airlines, giving plenty of partner paths to check before settling on one program.
Check airport codes before transferring points: Seattle awards can also leave from Everett's Paine Field (PAE), and Bangkok awards can also land at Don Mueang (DMK). If the destination is open, Seattle to Amsterdam prices from 15,000 points at last check.
