How to book ANA First Class on miles

Virgin Atlantic Flying Club is the legendary sweet spot at 110,000 points one-way US to Tokyo in ANA First Class — fixed published partner chart, no dynamic pricing. United MileagePlus charges 110,000 miles one-way at saver for the same seat through its Star Alliance partner chart, identical price. Singapore KrisFlyer prices ANA First at roughly 125,000 miles one-way US to Tokyo via the KrisFlyer chart, with about $200 in surcharges. ANA's own Mileage Club requires round-trip-only redemptions (165,000 miles RT off-peak from the US) and uses a strict regional chart. Virgin Atlantic for one-ways, ANA Mileage Club for round-trips with stopovers.

AwardClaw scans Virgin Atlantic Flying Club, United MileagePlus every three hours for saver first-class space on ANA First (The Suite). We filter to direct flights, 2+ seats, and a 30–355 day booking window — so what you see above is actually bookable inventory, not theoretical availability. When new seats appear, subscribers tracking the matching origin get an email alert.

Frequently asked

How many miles for ANA First Class?
Virgin Atlantic Flying Club is the legendary sweet spot at 110,000 points one-way US to Tokyo in ANA First Class — fixed published partner chart, no dynamic pricing. United MileagePlus charges 110,000 miles one-way at saver for the same seat through its Star Alliance partner chart, identical price. Singapore KrisFlyer prices ANA First at roughly 125,000 miles one-way US to Tokyo via the KrisFlyer chart, with about $200 in surcharges. ANA's own Mileage Club requires round-trip-only redemptions (165,000 miles RT off-peak from the US) and uses a strict regional chart. Virgin Atlantic for one-ways, ANA Mileage Club for round-trips with stopovers.
Which program is cheapest for ANA First?
Virgin Atlantic Flying Club at 110,000 points one-way is tied with United for the lowest published partner price. The reason to prefer Virgin: Virgin Atlantic miles transfer in from all four major bank programs (Chase, Amex, Citi, Bilt) at 1:1 plus frequent Amex transfer bonuses (30–50%) and points pool with friends/family. United MileagePlus only transfers from Chase Ultimate Rewards (1:1) and Bilt. If you can score an Amex transfer bonus to Virgin, a one-way ANA First Class flight effectively costs around 75K Amex points — the best premium-cabin redemption in the entire points-and-miles world.
When does ANA release First Class award space?
ANA First Class award inventory is genuinely scarce. Most partner space appears in two windows: 350+ days out at the very edge of the 355-day booking window (a single seat or two when schedules first open) and 14–21 days out (the "last-minute" release when ANA gives up on selling unsold F cash seats). Routes most likely to have space: HND/NRT–JFK, HND/NRT–LAX, HND/NRT–IAH, ORD–HND. Award space is virtually nonexistent during Japanese Golden Week (late April/early May), summer school holidays, and the New Year period. AwardClaw catches drops the moment they hit Virgin Atlantic, United, or KrisFlyer inventory.
How does AwardClaw track ANA First?
We scan Virgin Atlantic Flying Club, United MileagePlus, and Singapore KrisFlyer every three hours. We filter to First Class results on NH-operated direct flights (NH being ANA's IATA code), require at least 2 seats and saver pricing (≤180K miles), and surface them here within minutes. Because ANA F inventory is so limited, drops disappear quickly — sometimes inside an hour — so subscribers tracking JFK, LAX, IAH, ORD, IAD, or SFO origins get alerted immediately.
What is the ANA First Class experience like?
ANA flies two distinct First Class hardware products. "The Suite" is the new 2019+ product — an enormous private 1-1-1 suite on the 777-300ER with sliding doors, a 32" 4K TV, and a separate dining/lounging configuration. "The First" is the older 1-2-1 product still flying on a few routes. Dining is multi-course Japanese kaiseki or Western, paired with Krug Grande Cuvée Champagne. Ground service includes the ANA Suite Lounge at Tokyo HND/NRT with private dining and an a-la-carte sushi bar. It is generally considered one of the top three First Class products in the world, alongside Lufthansa First and Singapore Suites.
What about taxes and fees on ANA First?
Virgin Atlantic Flying Club passes through approximately $25 in US departure tax plus a $40 Japanese departure tax — total cash out is usually $60–$80 one-way. United MileagePlus charges $5.60 US, no carrier surcharges. Singapore KrisFlyer adds modest YQ (~$150–$200 each direction on partner ANA). ANA's own Mileage Club charges Japanese-origin Y/Q surcharges on partner segments; ANA-operated metal has none. Across the board, ANA First is one of the cleanest premium awards from a tax standpoint — most of the cost is genuinely the mileage.
Which credit cards transfer to these programs?
Virgin Atlantic Flying Club takes 1:1 from Chase Ultimate Rewards, Amex Membership Rewards, Citi ThankYou Points, and Bilt — and runs Amex transfer bonuses of 30–50% several times per year. United MileagePlus accepts only Chase Ultimate Rewards (1:1) and Bilt. Singapore KrisFlyer accepts all four (Chase, Amex, Citi, Cap One) at 1:1. The cheapest hypothetical path to ANA First: stockpile Amex Membership Rewards, wait for a Virgin Atlantic transfer bonus, then book at an effective rate of ~75K MR for a one-way US-to-Japan First Class seat. This is the single best premium-cabin redemption you can earn from credit card spend.
