ANA

I was looking at flights from NYC to Tokyo on ANA and the normal roundtrip price is around $6,300 in business class. But I found an interesting workaround. A flight from NYC to Delhi on American Airlines is about $2,000. Then there’s an ANA business class ticket from Delhi to...

Trying to look at flights on ANA and it’s honestly painful. The actual flight details take up like one inch of screen space, and the rest of the page is giant banners explaining fare types. It’s so cluttered it’s hard to even compare options. I literally had to zoom out to 80%...

First time to Tokyo and I was originally waitlisted in Polaris both ways. Winter storms in the middle of the US ended up rebooking me on ANA The Room from HND to ORD, and I’m honestly blown away. I’m a self funded 1K, upgrade when I can, and I like Polaris. But if you ever have...

I always tell myself to check every program before booking. This time I didn’t. Paid for it. Booked SQ MLE to SIN to PVG through Aeroplan. 65k points and about $700 per person. Felt fine at the time. A few days later I checked ANA. Same SQ flights. 30,500 points and around $250....

Just wrapped up a two week Australia trip and burned a little over 500k points across flights and hotels. Did Tokyo for 13 hours on the way out, then 6 nights in Melbourne, 2 in Cairns, 4 in Sydney, and another day in Tokyo on the way back. Used 137k ANA miles for a West Coast...

Just snagged a roundtrip SEA–HND in ANA business for 110k points and I’m still in shock. Booked both legs through Aeroplan at the 355-day mark. Trip is Oct–Nov 2026, so now I get to start planning everything else. I know there are other sweet spots out there, but for someone who...

I’m flying United then connecting to ANA and was thinking of using a fanny pack or something with extra pockets to hold my hard drives, earbuds, etc. Just not sure if that counts as another carry-on or if it’s treated more like something you wear. Anyone know if airlines...

Spent months building the perfect ANA RTW itinerary, all in J, and was insanely proud of snagging that 21-hour TK MEL to IST biz segment. Called ANA on Thanksgiving to push my Istanbul stop by a couple days. Agent said no problem, biz space was there, change confirmed. Then ANA...

Booked my Japan trip for June 2026 using the Chase 40 percent bonus and figured I’d share the DP. I wasn’t chasing business this time, just wanted solid economy space. Found IAD to HND on 6/5 for 32500 Virgin miles and 178.50. Return on 6/26 for the same miles and 254.03. Whole...

Been hunting for a TYO–JFK return in PE or J for months. Finally saw ANA open PE seats (but J only on wait-list), so I transferred points and decided to roll the dice, the J seat cleared instantly for ticketing even though it showed as wait-list only. Posting as a datapoint in...

Booked a mixed ANA/United business award for a family member (PVG–HND on ANA, then NRT–EWR on United) and the United site said checked bags would cost $400. Called both airlines, ANA said it’s $0, United said they “see $400” but wouldn’t confirm either way. Pretty wild. It’s all...

I liked how grounded this one was especially the idea that it’s okay to sometimes book a “bad” redemption if it saves your sanity. Been there. Also agree that extended-stay redemptions with free breakfast are still underrated gold. IHG points for a Candlewood with a full kitchen...
