Tokyo–Manila rewards discipline: redeem only when points beat what the ticket costs in cash. The cheapest economy seat is a partner award on a nonstop, so the lowest price is also the quickest trip. Expect about $45 in taxes and fees on top, in line with the route's typical economy taxes. Run the miles-or-cash math each time: a cheap fare usually beats spending points. Flexible bank points can reach Qantas Frequent Flyer; confirm the space first, since transfers can't be undone.
Qantas Frequent Flyer wins economy at 16,600 points and business class at 46,000. First class starts at 60,000 points through Air Canada Aeroplan on a connecting itinerary, often first on one leg only, so confirm the cabin on each flight. Watch the first-class routing: it lands at Pudong (PVG) and leaves from Hongqiao (SHA), both in Shanghai. Also in the mix: United MileagePlus, American AAdvantage, and Alaska Atmos Rewards.
Nonstop award space on Tokyo–Manila includes ANA, among other carriers in the data. For connecting options, the better-priced awards in the data connect in Shanghai and Hong Kong.
