Want to try out All Nippon Airways’ lauded business class for yourself? Fortunately, we have discovered a significant amount of last-minute award space available for flights from the U.S. to Tokyo.

These awards are hard to find, especially with multiple seats available on the same flight. If you have been looking for flights to Japan, act quickly.

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. What makes this find even better is that we’ve found up to 6 seats available on these flights, which is unheard of for such a premium product.

Class: Business
Routes: Chicago (ORD), Houston (IAH), Seattle (SEA), San Francisco (SFO), Los Angeles (LAX), Honolulu (HNL), Vancouver (YVR), Washington, D.C. (IAD) to Tokyo (HND/NRT)
Dates: March and April 2025
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:

To confirm availability, you should head over to search on United’s website.

Once you’ve found and confirmed availability, you will need to grab your phone and call Virgin Atlantic to book — unless you want to pay the high rates United is charging.

Best Ways To Book

Your best bet to book these flights is Virgin Atlantic Flying Club. While you’ll need to call Virgin to book your flight, you’ll save more than half the miles that United Airlines charges.

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.

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.
