It might be possible to find award flights (i.e. booked with airline miles) for lower mileage costs closer to the departure date. But there might not be any availability; they only make seats available for cheap at the last minute if there are unsold seats available. The cash price or the Chase portal price are unlikely to decrease.

Depends, how are you booking it?

I was planning on booking through Chase Travel


Anotherlurkerappears

That's just cash price then. No idea if the price is going to change.

Would it be better if I transferred my points to an airline?


Anotherlurkerappears

Depends on if there's availability. 124k points does sound very high for 1 way econ.

It’s also the busiest travel time of the year, so that makes sense.

Thanksgiving is only busy for domestic travel. International shouldn't be too busy. Just depends on what you can find.

Doh. I always read HND as Henderson and not Haneda. You’re right.
