Changes are coming Ana Mileage Cluba loyalty program based in Japan All Nippon Airwaysas reported first View from the wing.
The update scheduled to be implemented in June is a mixed bag. Mileage Club members will be allowed to end their frustration of redeeming miles for one-way flights, opening new redemption options and being limited to round-trip award flights. Meanwhile, award fees for many international fares have risen (again), with the program’s beloved being nearing the end of world tickets.
Here’s all the details.
Book your Ana Mileage Club One-way Award Flight
The Ana Mileage Club has announced plans to offer one-way award flights starting June 24th, after allowing only round-trip redemptions. Until that day, one-way redemptions are not searchable, but Ana has already published a one-way awards chart, with the fee being half the ones paid for round-trip flights.
Anna divides the awards chart into three date ranges: low season (L), regular season (R), and high season (H). You can find a specific date range for each season of Anna Website.
For example, economy flights from North America to Japan (Y fare class) range from 20,000 miles on low season dates to 36,000 miles on high season dates. Business Class (c) fares range from 50,000 to 82,500 miles one way.
Meanwhile, one-way streets from North America to Oceania cost between 30,000 and 49,000 miles in the economy and 68,500 to 108,000 miles in business.
These are reasonable fees and the fact that Ana Mileage Club is still using the awards chart (when many other airlines went to the dark side) Dynamic Award Prices) Bonus. Instead of comparing dates and award fees, you can know how many miles you need.
However, there are a few things to keep in mind. For one thing, ANA Awards may be lacking in availability. This was unable to find a premium economy seat on round-trip flights up to the year.

ANA also charges large fees, especially with certain partner tickets. Operated by Swiss and Singapore airlines, this round-trip economy flight from New York to Geneva charges a fee of around $400.
For Swiss-operated business class award seats, you will pay an additional fee of $2,000 or more.
When it becomes available on June 24th, you can expect to pay about half of these numbers for one-way award flights. However, these prices vary widely depending on your partner airline, so be careful when searching for flights.
Overall, ANA’s new One-way Award flight opens up new redemption possibilities for Mileage Club members. For example, if you find a lot at your destination with Ana, but find a better rate for the return leg of another Star Alliance Partner’s journey, you can mix and match and save miles.
ANA MILEAGE CLUB Awards chart cut down
One-way award flights are a boon for Mileage Club members, but the only good news of the latest changes to the program. In June, Anna will cut the awards chart.
For ANA awards charts for flights between North America and Japan, prices are expected to rise in all fare classes during the high season.
This will come soon Last year’s devaluationBusiness Class (c) fares between the US and Japan saw prices skyrocket 22% to 33% in all seasons.
At that time, high season business class fares rose from 90,000 miles to 110,000 miles round trips. Currently, they have increased to 165,000 miles of round trips from June 24th. This is a total of 83% jump in a year and a half.
Still, the 165,000-mile round trip for long-haul business class flights isn’t bad. Delta Sky MealIt is known to charge more than 300,000 miles one way.
Meanwhile, you can save on rewards by booking top-notch reward flights around the Virgin Atlantic with 170,000 flying club points from the East Coast to Japan. Please note that you will need to call to book an Ana flight through the Virgin Atlantic Check the availability of the award.

Ana’s Star Alliance Round Round the World Award tickets have long been the highlight of the Mileage Club program. Tour the world with Star Alliance Airlines. There are up to 12 flights and 8 stops, all with ANA miles (taxes and fees of course).
