Roughly 2,890 miles separate Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) and Tokyo's Narita International Airport (NRT), so a nonstop spends about 6h20 in the air, a little more or less depending on winds and direction. Nonstop award space in the data comes from Japan Airlines, ANA, and Thai Airways. The Airbus A350-900, Boeing 777-300ER, and Boeing 787-9 all appear on those nonstop award segments. Expect mostly connecting results: only about 10% of the award options in the data are nonstop.
With over six hours in the air on Bangkok–Tokyo, settle the cabin first; the right program follows from it. The economy floor is a partner booking on an ANA nonstop, with no connection to trade off against the points. Expect about $35 in taxes and fees on top, below the route's typical economy taxes. Moving up to business costs about 1.5 times the economy points. Flexible bank points can reach Avianca LifeMiles; confirm the space first, since transfers can't be undone.
Avianca LifeMiles wins economy at 20,000 points on an ANA nonstop. American AAdvantage takes business class at 30,000 points. The business-class routing changes airports, from KIX to ITM, so allow transfer time. Of the other seven, Air Canada Aeroplan, Alaska Atmos Rewards, and Qantas Frequent Flyer are worth a look too. Business class is also priced as a partner award, so the miles and the metal come from different airlines.
Three airlines show nonstop award space on Bangkok–Tokyo: Japan Airlines (oneworld), ANA (Star Alliance), and Thai Airways (Star Alliance). Partner programs in both alliances can price a nonstop here, not just the carriers' own. When nonstop space is gone, the cheaper connecting awards in the data route through Hong Kong, Taipei, and Shanghai. Partner pricing sets the economy floor: Avianca LifeMiles books ANA as a Star Alliance partner, and no program prices ANA lower in that cabin at last check.
At the Tokyo end, Haneda (HND) beats Narita at 16,460 points in economy against the 20,000-point floor. Haneda also logs nonstop flights from Bangkok in the data. The return, Tokyo to Bangkok, has its own page, since award pricing can differ by direction. For another option from Bangkok, Dubai prices from 22,500 points at last check.
