Know the program

ANA Mileage Club at a glance

Best uses

  • Check ANA-operated Japan flights during its low and regular award seasons for lower mileage requirements.
  • Search one way when only one direction has a confirmed business-class seat.

Can you change or cancel?

  • You can change the date or flight on an eligible ANA award, but not the passenger, airline, route or cabin.
  • Eligible unused-ticket refunds cost 3,000 miles, or the local equivalent of JPY 3,000 for qualifying online refunds.

A waitlist is not a booking

  • Choose confirmed seats if you need a secured flight. ANA may offer a waitlist; partner awards cannot be waitlisted.

Partner opportunities

Airlines worth checking

Destination focusWhat to look for
Japan — ANAANA’s own award seasons can lower the mileage price; a listed rate still needs a confirmed seat.
Europe — LufthansaUse the partner search for European routes instead of ANA’s Japan-focused seasonal chart.
US connections — UnitedAdds US departure options to an eligible partner itinerary; allow time for ANA’s advance-booking deadline.

From search to booking

Find and book on ANA’s website

  1. Choose the right award search. Select ANA International Flight Awards for ANA flights, or Partner Airline Flight Awards for partners.
  2. Search your dates and business cabin. ANA’s own prices vary by season; compare nearby dates and one-way options.
  3. Check the booking deadline. Partner awards generally need at least 96 hours before the first flight. Follow the ticketing deadline shown.

Keep your points working

Managing your miles

Mileage expiration

  • Ordinary miles generally expire at the end of their 36th month; new activity does not reset the age of the existing miles. Campaign miles can have different deadlines.

Booking for family

  • Register eligible relatives before using your miles for their awards.
Combining family balances
  • The overseas Family Account service covers two to eight eligible relatives. Registration costs 1,000 miles and can take about two weeks.
  • For partner awards using combined miles, a contributing member must satisfy ANA’s recent international-flight requirement.
