But despite the rules and restrictions, one of its redeeming qualities was its too-good-to-be-true award pricing. Unfortunately, that'll soon change, as ANA has let prospective travelers know that <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ana.co.jp\/en\/us\/amc\/partner-flight-awards\/zone-info-mileage\/\" rel=\"noopener\">awards will soon cost more<\/a>, effective <strong>April 18, 2024<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Most price increases are localized to international business- and first-class awards operated by ANA and its roster of partner airlines. So, for some, there's a silver lining there. With rare exceptions, you won't pay more to fly coach or premium economy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/airlines\/book-ana-mileage-club-award-flights\/\" rel=\"noopener\">How To Book ANA Mileage Club Award Flights<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_114944\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-aspectratio=\"600\/480\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-114944 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/ANA-business-class-featured.jpg\" alt=\"ANA The Room business class\" width=\"600\" height=\"480\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/ANA-business-class-featured.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/ANA-business-class-featured-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/ANA-business-class-featured-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/ANA-business-class-featured-325x260.jpg 325w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><center><em>ANA The Room business class.

However, that assumes you can find a bookable award in a premium cabin.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/airlines\/do-ana-mileage-club-miles-expire\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Do ANA Mileage Club Miles Expire?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Partner-operated_awards\">Partner-operated awards<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>ANA belongs to the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/airlines\/airline-alliances-and-partnerships\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Star Alliance<\/a>, which means you can use Mileage Club miles to book tickets on one of several international airlines, plus a few non-alliance partners. But like with ANA flights, partner awards will have a higher price tag come April \u2014 primarily in business class.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few examples (prices for round-trip itineraries):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>United flights from the U.S. to Europe in business class<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Current pricing:<\/strong> 88,000 miles<\/li>\n<li><strong>Revised pricing:<\/strong> 100,000 miles<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>United flights from the U.S. to South Africa in business class<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Current pricing:<\/strong> 104,000 miles<\/li>\n<li><strong>Revised pricing:<\/strong> 130,000 miles<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Turkish Airlines flights from the U.S. to Turkey in business class<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Current pricing:<\/strong> 88,000 miles<\/li>\n<li><strong>Revised pricing:<\/strong> 100,000 miles<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Air New Zealand flights from the U.S. to New Zealand in business class<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Current pricing:<\/strong> 120,000 miles<\/li>\n<li><strong>Revised pricing:<\/strong> 145,000 miles<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Most partner-operated routes will require 10% to 25% more Mileage Club miles. That's a big increase, sure, but remember that Mileage Club prices awards as round-trips. When you break the pricing down by segment, it's a little easier to digest.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Final_Thoughts\">Final Thoughts<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>ANA is planning a Mileage Club award chart devaluation effective <strong>April 18, 2024<\/strong>. Mid-April is a ways away, so there's still time to lock in ANA and partner awards at the current rates. And as we've covered, there are plenty of <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/airlines\/ana-mileage-club-sweet-spots\/\" rel=\"noopener\">ANA sweet spots<\/a> worth shelling out miles for.<\/p>\n<p>A devaluation is a devaluation. That much is for sure. But compared to what you'll pay for awards \u2014 especially round-trip awards \u2014 with other carriers, ANA Mileage Club will still remain competitive price-wise. Seen what United is charging for Polaris award flights to Europe lately? It's a night and day difference, and that won't really change \u2014 even after April 18, 2024.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ftoc\"><div id=\"toc_container\" class=\"toc_light_blue no_bullets\"><p class=\"toc_title\">Page Contents<\/p><ul class=\"toc_list\"><li><a href=\"#ANA_Mileage_Club_To_Devalue_Award_Charts_on_April_18_2024\">ANA Mileage Club To Devalue Award Charts on April 18, 2024<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#ANA-operated_awards\">ANA-operated awards<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Partner-operated_awards\">Partner-operated awards<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"#Final_Thoughts\">Final Thoughts<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;ve got good news, and we&#8217;ve got bad news.
