Results summary, business class (J), LAX origin, 2027-06-22 to 2027-08-21:
| Destination | Best find | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| NRT (Tokyo) | KL, up to 8 seats, from 246,500 mi | All via KLM/Flying Blue; noticeably pricier than the last scan (was from 126,500 mi) |
| MEX (Mexico City) | AM, as low as 28,000 mi | Cheapest premium find in the whole run — Aeromexico via Flying Blue repeatedly at 28k–28.5k; Delta also plentiful at 40k–98k |
| CDG (Paris) | AF, up to 9 seats, flat 119,999 mi | Very dense — near-daily availability late June through mid-July |
| AMS (Amsterdam) | AF, up to 5 seats, flat 119,999 mi | Sparser than CDG, clustered late July/mid-August |
| FCO (Rome) | AZ (ITA) as low as 74,086 mi | Busiest destination — AF, AZ, and Aeromexico (mostly 0 seats) all show up; ITA Airways remains the best value here |
| CPH (Copenhagen) | No matches | Zero premium cabin space found in this window |
Standouts:
- Best value overall: MEX via Aeromexico at 28,000–28,500 miles — still the cheapest premium find by a wide margin.
- Best availability density: CDG and FCO — near-daily business class space across the window.
- Weakest: CPH — no matches at all; worth widening the date range or checking premium economy if Copenhagen matters.
- Notable change since the last scan: NRT pricing jumped well above where it was before (now from 246,500 mi vs. 126,500 mi previously) — award pricing on this route isn’t stable.
- All results shown are business (J) — no first class (F) turned up anywhere in this run.
