ANA Mileage Club award chart (2026)
ANA Mileage Club has the cheapest Star Alliance partner business class in the world — when you can stomach the round-trip requirement. 88K round-trip US-Europe in business class on Lufthansa, Swiss, or any Star partner. 90K round-trip US-Japan on ANA itself. And ANA First Class for 110K round-trip via Virgin Atlantic transfer is one of the best redemptions in points.

Frequently asked questions
Why must ANA partner awards be round-trip?
ANA's policy. Partner Star Alliance awards on ANA Mileage Club require both an outbound and return segment booked on the same ticket. Open-jaws are allowed (different return city), but you can't book a one-way.
Can I book ANA First Class with Virgin Atlantic miles?
Yes — Virgin Atlantic Flying Club prices ANA First at 110K round-trip US-Japan, even cheaper than ANA's own 150-180K. The booking goes through Virgin's call center (ANA First doesn't show on Virgin's website).
How do I find Star Alliance partner award space?
ANA's own website has the best Star Alliance award search tool — even non-ANA members can search. Find availability, then book through ANA, Aeroplan, Turkish, United, or whichever program prices it cheapest.
