💡 Good to Know: ANA Mileage Club Booking Tips
You can use your ANA Mileage Club Miles to book flights for yourself or for others — up to nine passengers on the same booking.
While ANA-operated flights can be booked directly online through the ANA website, redemptions with partner airlines (such as United, Singapore Airlines or Lufthansa) may need a few extra steps, including calling the ANA Mileage Club Contact Centre.
ANA usually opens award bookings around 355 days in advance, so booking early gives you the best chance to lock in those sought-after premium cabin seats — especially on long-haul routes to Japan, the US or Europe.
If you see available award seats on a partner airline’s website but not on ANA’s, don’t stress — sometimes availability takes a little while to sync. A quick call to ANA can often reveal extra options.
✨ Pro Tip: Get the Most Value from Your ANA Miles
Not every redemption gives you the same bang for your buck. To make the most of your ANA Miles:
✈️ Redeem for return Business or First Class flights, particularly between Australia and Japan — this is where you’ll often find the best value per mile.
📅 Plan and book early to secure award seats, especially during popular travel seasons like cherry blossom or snow holidays.
💰 Use ANA’s Star Alliance partners to mix and match flights, helping you explore more destinations in one trip.
💼 Combine ANA and partner airlines to lower surcharges and open up extra routing options.
🌏 Your ANA Miles, Your Adventure!
Booking flights with ANA Mileage Club Miles is simple once you understand how it works. With smart planning, flexibility and a touch of strategy, you can unlock amazing value — whether it’s a relaxing getaway to Tokyo or an unforgettable multi-stop journey across the globe.
