|  | Aeromexico Business Class, Up To 8 Seats |
| Sometimes, you have to look beyond the obvious options to find a way to use your points and miles for business class. Today’s Award Alerts is a perfect example of that.
Aeromexico has business class award space to Tokyo and Seoul for up to eight people. It’s just a matter of including a positioning flight - and there are several U.S. airports with non-stop to Mexico City and/or Monterrey.
Now, please keep in mind that rates are often steep. However, Virgin Atlantic could be a great option if you took advantage of the recent Bilt transfer bonus or are able to do so when another bank runs a transfer bonus.
If you didn’t transfer points during the BIlt bonus, keep this one in your back pocket as we’re bound to see a transfer bonus to Virgin Atlantic sooner or later.
If you live in Chicago or you get to town early for the Chicago Seminars, I’ll be hosting a meetup and would love to see you there! Feel free to bring friends!
Just make sure you RSVP so I can get an accurate headcount!

| Flight Experience
On these routes, Aeromexico’s business class cabins are arranged in a 1-2-1 reverse herringbone layout so each set will be lie-flat and have direct aisle access.
While this isn’t a cutting edge business class experience, it’s a nice seat, the crew should be friendly, and the inflight catering is solid. |

Virgin Atlantic: Monterrey To Japan Is Best
While 100,000 Virgin points to Japan is steep, it could come in handy in a pinch. However, I think this option will be particularly useful during a bank transfer bonus promo as we often see 30% bonus offers. So, keep an eye out! |
