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

Fare Details

• Dates: July to September 2026

The best way to look for availability is via Seats.aero. This can help you identify space, though you won’t book with any of the programs you see here.

To confirm availability, you can verify that flights show up in a program like Aeroplan or United MileagePlus.

Award space can vary by day, so we recommend searching flexible dates to uncover availability. Once you’ve found and confirmed availability with a partner — not ANA itself — you’re ready to book. You need these awards to be available to a partner program for the best option to work.

Best Ways To Book

Your best choice for booking these awards is the Virgin Atlantic Flying Club program. However, these awards can’t be found online — not with any award booking tools and not on Virgin Atlantic’s website.

You’ll call (800) 862-8621 after confirming award space online, and you don’t need to transfer points until the phone agent confirms the flights you want are available. You’ll pay 52,500 points per person from the West Coast or 60,000 points per person from the East Coast with Virgin Atlantic points. Yes, that’s for business class — an incredible deal.

Virgin Atlantic Flying Club is a transfer partner of numerous programs: Amex Membership Rewards, Bilt Rewards, Capital One Rewards, Chase Ultimate Rewards, Citi ThankYou Rewards, Wells Fargo Rewards (all at a 1:1 ratio), and Marriott Bonvoy (at a 3:1 ratio).

Plus, with a 30% transfer bonus from Citi to Virgin Atlantic right now, you can drop the cost even lower:

• Transfer 47,000 Citi points to Virgin Atlantic for East Coast flights
• Transfer 41,000 Citi points to Virgin Atlantic for West Coast flights

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

Many travelers aspire to fly ANA’s incredible business class to Japan, and booking it with points and miles for next summer is a shortcut to making it happen. If you’ve had your eye on these $8,000 seats, book quickly. Availability — combined with a 30% transfer bonus — won’t last long.
