💡 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 reservation.
While ANA-operated flights can easily be booked online through the ANA website, award bookings with partner airlines (like United, Singapore Airlines, or Lufthansa) may require a few extra steps or a call to the ANA Mileage Club Contact Center.
ANA typically opens award bookings around 355 days in advance, so booking early gives you the best shot at grabbing those coveted premium cabin seats — especially on long-haul routes to Japan, the U.S., or Europe.
If you notice award seats available on a partner airline’s site but not on ANA’s, don’t worry — sometimes the systems take a bit to sync. Calling ANA directly can often help uncover additional availability.
✨ Pro Tip: Maximize the Value of Your ANA Miles
Not every redemption gives equal value. To get the most out of your ANA Miles:
✈️ Redeem for round-trip Business or First Class flights, especially between the U.S. and Japan — these usually deliver the best value per mile.
📅 Plan and book early to secure award seats during peak seasons like cherry blossom or winter travel.
💰 Take advantage of ANA’s Star Alliance partners to mix and match flights and explore more destinations with one ticket.
💼 Combine ANA and partner flights to reduce surcharges and expand your route options.
🌏 Your ANA Miles, Your Journey!
Booking flights with ANA Mileage Club Miles is easy once you know the system. With smart planning, flexibility, and a bit of strategy, you can unlock amazing value — whether you’re flying solo to Tokyo or embarking on an unforgettable global adventure.
