Want to try out All Nippon Airways’ lauded business class for yourself? Well, you’re in luck because we’ve found a huge amount of last-minute award space from airports all over the U.S.

Here’s a look at everything you need to know.

Fare Details

These planes will be flying ANA’s newest business class seat, “The Room,” which is both roomy and high-tech. Even more unusually, we’ve found up to 9 seats available on these flights, which is unheard of for such a premium product.

Class: Business
Routes: Chicago (ORD), Houston (IAH), Los Angeles (LAX), Newark (EWR), New York (JFK), San Francisco (SFO), Seattle (SEA), Mexico City (MEX), Vancouver (YVR), and Washington, D.C. (IAD) to Tokyo (HND/NRT)
Dates: November 2024
Rates: As few as 52,500 Virgin Points one-way

The best way to look for availability is via Seats.aero. For flights that are fewer than 60 days out, you’ll be able to use the free version to look for award space:

Best Ways To Book

Your best bet to book these flights is to use Virgin Atlantic Flying Club. While you’ll need to call Virgin to book your flight, you’ll be charged less than half of what United Airlines will.

After you’ve verified availability on United’s website, call Virgin at 800-365-9500.

The best part about using Virgin Points is that they are very easy to earn. You can transfer Amex Membership Rewards, Bilt Rewards, Chase Ultimate Rewards, and Citi ThankYou Rewards points to Virgin Atlantic at a 1:1 ratio. Capital One miles can be transferred 1:1 to Virgin Red, which can then be transferred 1:1 to Virgin Atlantic.

Through November 30, 2024, Chase is offering a 40% transfer bonus to Virgin Atlantic, which means you’ll drop your total cost to just 38,000 points!

Finally, don’t forget to pay your taxes and fees with a travel credit card like the Chase Sapphire Reserve^® to add complimentary (and excellent) travel insurance to your trip.

Final Thoughts

If the screenshots above didn’t make it obvious, paying just 38,000 to 52,500 points to fly business class across the Pacific is an incredible deal, especially since United would charge you 110,000 miles for the same flights.
