ANA is an incredible Japanese airline with great first class suites that have very comfortable beds and amazing service. I reviewed them here towards the end of the 4th part of my Island Hopper adventure.
You only need 110K Virgin Atlantic miles to fly round-trip from the west coast to Japan or 120K miles to fly round-trip from the east coast to Japan in first class.
The Achilles’ heel has been that a round-trip flight is required. That means you need to find award availability in both directions, and you can’t use another routing and other miles to fly the other direction or to fly on the island hopper as I did.
But now Virgin Atlantic is allowing one-way travel for half the round-trip rate in the chart below!
That means you only need 55K Virgin miles to fly one-way from the west coast to Japan or 60K miles to fly one-way from the east coast to Japan in first class.
Compare that to 121K United miles for the one-way flight!
Unfortunately, you do need to call Virgin Atlantic to book travel on ANA atĀ 800-365-9500. You can search for ANA award space on United.com.
You can fly in ANA first class to Tokyo/Narita from Chicago, Houston, JFK, Los Angeles, San Francisco, or Washington DC.
You can fly in ANA first class to Tokyo/Haneda from Chicago, JFK, or Los Angeles.
Search for first class saver awards on United.com to TYO and then call Virgin Atlantic to book:

Thanks Dan, does this work for israel?
ANA does not fly to TLV.
Is there ever availability?
Look at the screenshot in the post?
Well they’re not letting anyone in now….
Any options for stopovers when using VA to book on ANA?
Too bad Japan is not opening up anytime soon or any countries in the region for that matter š
The problem is by time places like Japan, Bali will be opened most of those flights will be canceled
can you do the opposite? fly VA with ana miles?
if yes is there fuel surcharges?
Does ANA fly anywhere besides Tokyo?
Are the rate cheap as well if you continue on to other destinations in Asia?
just curious if a door means that no one can see if you’re wearing a mask? Any other airlines have this (besides spirit)?
what about ANA from Seattle to Narita?
