All Nippon Airways (ANA) maintains multiple award charts for different types of flights. This post identifies and explains the different charts for domestic, international, partner, and round-the-world flights on ANA. We'll also explain the rules for stopovers, open jaws, and other types of bookings with Mileage Club.

Understanding the ANA Mileage Club Award Charts
Before you price an award through ANA Mileage Club, you need to determine which award chart applies. Mileage Club uses four separate award charts:
- ANA domestic award chart: Seasonal, distance-based chart covering awards within Japan, valid on all domestic flights (including codeshare) that use ANA flight numbers.
- ANA international award chart: Seasonal, zone-based award chart covering international flights on ANA. There are three seasons, and the dates change each year.
- ANA partner award chart: Non-seasonal, zone-based award chart covering all partner awards, including Star Alliance and non-alliance partners
- ANA round-the-world award chart: Non-seasonal, distance-based award chart covering round-the-world itineraries.

ANA domestic award chart
We only touch on ANA Domestic Awards briefly to explain how they work, as this chart is the least used of the four. Note the following:
- Domestic ANA awards are the only ones bookable one-way, with fares starting from 5,000 miles for one-segment flights.
- If an award contains more than one sector, the total distance of the two sectors will determine the award's overall distance.
- If a multi-sector award crosses more than one season or class (such as taking an overnight flight in low season and the next day's flight being in regular season), the required mileage for each seasonality will be combined.
You can find all the details of Low, Regular, and High Season dates, plus domestic award rates, on the domestic chart page of ANA’s website.
ANA international award chart
Here are the key details:
- ANA international awards are valid only on ANA (NH) and Air Japan (NQ) flights with an ANA flight number.
- One-way awards are not permitted; miles can only be redeemed for round-trip awards.
- Award rates are dependent on the zone, season, and class.
We’ve put together a chart for ANA international awards below. It doesn’t cover all destinations — only the zones where ANA international awards apply for flights to or from the U.S. For all other international awards, use the ANA partner award chart below.
Destination from US | Low Season | Regular Season | High Season |
---|---|---|---|
Zone 1 - Japan | Economy: 40,000 Premium Econ: 62,000 Business class: 100,000 First class: 150,000 | Economy: 50,000 Premium Econ: 72,000 Business class: 105,000 First class: 170,000 | Economy: 55,000 Premium Econ: 77,000 Business class: 110,000 First class: 200,000 |
Zones 2 and 3 - South Korea and Asia 1 | Economy: 45,000 Premium Econ: 66,000 Business class: 105,000 First class: 165,000 | Economy: 55,000 Premium Econ: 76,000 Business class: 112,000 First class: 185,000 | Economy: 60,000 Premium Econ: 81,000 Business class: 115,000 First class: 215,000 |
Zone 4 - Asia 2 | Economy: 55,000 Premium Econ: 84,000 Business class: 125,000 First class: 195,000 | Economy: 65,000 Premium Econ: 94,000 Business class: 132,000 First class: 215,000 | Economy: 70,000 Premium Econ: 99,000 Business class: 135,000 First class: 245,000 |
Zone 10 - Oceania | Economy: 60,000 Premium Econ: 88,000 Business class: 130,000 First class: 210,000 | Economy: 70,000 Premium Econ: 98,000 Business class: 137,000 First class: 230,000 | Economy: 75,000 Premium Econ: 103,000 Business class: 140,000 First class: 260,000 |
The dates on ANA’s award seasons change annually, so we’ve included the dates through 2025 below. Remember, these only apply to ANA domestic and international awards — not partner awards.
You can find all the details of low, regular, and high season dates, plus domestic award rates, on the ANA international award chart.
ANA partner airline award chart
This award chart covers ANA’s Star Alliance partners plus non-alliance partners like Etihad, Garuda Indonesia, Hawaiian, Vietnam Airlines, and Virgin Atlantic. And this chart underwent a pricing devaluation on April 18, 2024.
- Partner awards are not seasonal. There is only one award rate per class of travel.
- You can mix and match Star Alliance airlines for an award, but the award cannot include non-alliance partners.
- When flying non-alliance partners, the entire itinerary must utilize the same carrier.

An example of mixing and matching ANA Star Alliance Partners would be:
- Depart Singapore on Singapore Airlines, headed to Tokyo.
- Fly with United Airlines Airlines to New York.
- Fly home with ANA on both legs, connecting through Tokyo again.

An example of flying non-alliance ANA partners would be:
- Depart Tokyo on Garuda Indonesia to Jakarta.
- Fly Garuda Indonesia back to Tokyo.

Partner award charts from the U.S. and Europe are straightforward, showing award rates across all three classes. They don’t include Japan, however, which is explained below.
For flights to/from North America:

ANA Partner Award flights into and out of Japan require more explanation. The chart is split into Zone 1–A and Zone 1–B.
Zone 1–A awards contain only one overseas sector. A non-stop flight from San Francisco to Tokyo would qualify for the Zone 1–A award rate, as would an award that contains connecting flights within Japan (up to two connections).
Class of Service | South Korea/ Russia 1 (Zone 2) | Asia 1 (Zone 3) | Asia 2/ Russia 3 (Zone 4) | Hawaii (Zone 5) | North America (Zone 6) | Europe Russia 2 (Zone 7) | Africa/ Middle East (Zone 8) | Central/ South America (Zone 9) | Oceania/ Micronesia (Zone 10) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Y (economy) | 15,000 | 20,000 | 35,000 | 40,000 | 50,000 | 55,000 | N/A | N/A | 45,000 |
C (business) | 30,000 | 40,000 | 60,000 | 85,000 | 110,000 | 115,000 | N/A | N/A | 85,000 |
F (first class) | 45,000 | 60,000 | 105,000 | 140,000 | 170,000 | 190,000 | N/A | N/A | 135,000 |
Zone 1–B awards apply to all other international awards. If you have any stopovers or connecting flights outside of Japan, including layovers or open jaws, then you utilize Zone 1–B award pricing.
Class of Service | South Korea/ Russia 1 (Zone 2) | Asia 1 (Zone 3) | Asia 2/ Russia 3 (Zone 4) | Hawaii (Zone 5) | North America (Zone 6) | Europe/ Russia 2 (Zone 7) | Africa/ Middle East (Zone 8) | Central/ South America (Zone 9) | Oceania/ Micronesia (Zone 10) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Y (economy) | 18,000 | 23,000 | 38,000 | 43,000 | 55,000 | 62,000 | 100,000 | 115,000 | 50,000 |
C (business) | 33,000 | 43,000 | 63,000 | 89,000 | 117,000 | 121,000 | 185,000 | 195,000 | 91,000 |
F (first class) | 54,000 | 69,000 | 114,000 | 151,000 | 187,000 | 207,000 | 290,000 | 327,000 | 150,000 |
There are certain restrictions on ANA's area regions. ANA has broken the regions up into three “areas,” which you can see below:
- Area 1: North America, Hawaii, etc.
- Area 2: Europe, Middle East, Africa, Russia (west of Ural Mountains), etc.
- Area 3: Japan, South Korea, China, Southeast Asia, South Asia, Southwest Pacific, Russia (east of Ural Mountains), etc.
This is an important point to consider when booking an award, and it's one of the most common errors thrown up by the ANA booking interface. If you book an award from Area 1 (the Americas) to Area 3 (Asia + Oceania), for example, you cannot connect in Area 2 (Europe, Middle East, and Africa).
It does, however, open up some interesting routing options. We cover these in more depth in our post on ANA sweet spots.
You can find all the details regarding partner award flights on the ANA partner award charts.
ANA Star Alliance round-the-world award chart
The final chart is for round-the-world (RTW) awards. This chart is essentially ANA’s pre-2015, distance-based award chart with a few additional restrictions thrown in to make it interesting. We’ve pulled the terms for the RTW itineraries off ANA's website and summarized them below.
- Required mileage is calculated according to the total basic sector mileage for the entire itinerary.
- Flights must be used to cross both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans once.
- The flight direction of the itinerary must be east-to-west or west-to-east.
- Backtracking is not permitted.
- Up to eight stopovers are permitted between the departure point and the final return point (up to three stopovers within Europe and four within Japan)
- Departure date of the final international flight returning to the country of departure must be at least 10 days after the departure of the first international flight.
- Maximum of 12 flight segments and four ground transfer segments on one ticket. Transfers between airports in the same city also count as ground transfer segments.
- Reservation cannot be made through the ANA website; you must call a reservation center.
- You can only fly Star Alliance carriers on the RTW award.
Itinerary Mileage | Economy Class | Business Class | First Class |
---|---|---|---|
4,001 to 7,000 | 38,000 | 63,000 | 90,000 |
7,001 to 9,000 | 43,000 | 68,000 | 100,000 |
9,001 to 11,000 | 55,000 | 85,000 | 120,000 |
11,001 to 14,000 | 60,000 | 90,000 | 140,000 |
14,001 to 18,000 | 65,000 | 105,000 | 160,000 |
18,001 to 20,000 | 75,000 | 115,000 | 180,000 |
20,001 to 22,000 | 85,000 | 125,000 | 200,000 |
22,001 to 25,000 | 100,000 | 145,000 | 220,000 |
25,001 to 29,000 | 120,000 | 170,000 | 260,000 |
29,001 to 34,000 | 140,000 | 200,000 | 300,000 |
34,001 to 39,000 | 160,000 | 220,000 | 340,000 |
39,001 to 44,000 | 180,000 | 270,000 | 390,000 |
44,001 to 50,000 | 200,000 | 300,000 | 450,000 |
To price an RTW award, use a tool like GCMap.com, input the airport codes in the order of travel, and tally the total sector mileage against the award chart to determine the cost of the award.
This simple example pulled from ANA’s website covers 20,327 miles. You could book this RTW award ticket for just 85,000 miles plus taxes + fees in economy or 125,000 miles in business. That's unreal value, and we delve into these awards further in our sweet spots post.
You can find all the details for Star Alliance round-the-world tickets on ANA's award chart.
ANA Stopovers, Open Jaws, and Mixed Classes/Seasons
ANA’s stopover and open jaw policies can take some deciphering, as the policy is different flying with miles on ANA or a Star Alliance partner.
For ANA International Awards, you can't have a stopover if you're departing Japan, but you can book one stopover and an open jaw when departing other countries:
“En route disembarkation is not possible for itineraries which depart from Japan. Itineraries departing from other countries can have 1 stopover en route to the destination.”
For Star Alliance partner awards, however, you can book a stopover and open jaw itinerary when departing any country, including Japan:
“For itineraries departing from Japan and itineraries departing from other countries, 1 stopover is permitted on either the outbound or return journey.”
To calculate mixed-season and mixed-class awards, divide the combined miles in half to get the total. We've provided an example of this in our ANA sweet spots post, but here's a refresher:
- When flying mixed-class or mixed-season awards, halve the total required mileage for both segments.
- If either segment has a connection, or more than one sector and multiple classes, use the required mileage for the higher class of service to make your calculations.
Need More ANA Mileage Club Miles?
ANA offers a U.S.-based co-brand card from First National Bank of Omaha, the ANA Card U.S.A. But compared to rewards cards from other programs, you'll likely do better earning points from other credit cards and then transferring these to ANA Mileage Club. Transfer options include:

Final Thoughts
There's a lot to love about ANA Mileage Club. The program offers some of the best award pricing available (albeit often with high additional fees), as well as awards you can book online or via excellent reservation agents. While ANA's award charts and associated rules are a lot to take in, today's post points you in the right direction for your next domestic, international, partner, or round-the-world redemption on ANA.
