    JAL SFO to MNL

    I have only flown JAL once and that was through a business class award travel booked through AA. It was business class SFO to NRT to MNL booked on one ticket. If I want to book the same trip for next year directly with JAL using JAL miles​, do I search for SFO to MNL? Or do I need to search for each segment separately and book two separate segments?
