If you’ve had your eye on ANA’s world-beating new first-class product, now’s the time to make your move.

We’ve found 12 dates with ANA first class — something that’s become more rare than finding a unicorn in Scotland. Let’s take a look at all the details.

Award Deal — Details

It’s so rare to find award space for ANA‘s premium, even in business class — that we had to run to let you all know as soon as we came across this availability.

First Class

Depending on where you take off, you’ll find yourself in ANA’s incredible “The Suite” product, which includes a massive 42-inch TV screen and closing doors.

Class: First
Routes: San Francisco (SFO), Chicago (ORD), and Honolulu (HNL) to Tokyo (HND and NRT)
Cost: 57,500 points plus $300 in taxes and fees one-way
Travel Dates: March 2025 to January 2026
Award Seats: 1 passenger per route

Your best bet for finding a date that works for you is to go to Seats.aero. While the free search will show you availability 60 days in advance, those with a paid membership can easily scroll through all available dates for months at a time.

Once you’ve found a date that works for you, search on United’s website to ensure the flight you’re looking at is still available.

Note: Although the flights from Hawaii won’t have the newest product, it will be on the custom-painted A380, dubbed “The Flying Honu!”

Hot Tip:

We’re seeing availability to both Haneda (HND) and Narita (NRT), but note that Haneda is much closer to the center of Tokyo and much more convenient. Pick that option if you can.

Best Ways To Book

After you’ve verified that there is saver-level availability on United’s site, it’s time to book. United wants to charge you 220,000 miles each way for first class, but don’t fall for that. Instead, book with Virgin Atlantic Flying Club.

Although Virgin increased the cost of ANA redemptions from their once-jaw-dropping bargains, it’s still a much better deal at just 57,500-72,500 Virgin points each way, depending on flight distance.

Even better, Virgin points are incredibly easy to earn, thanks to the program’s partnerships with basically every transferable point currency. This includes American Express Membership Rewards, Capital One miles, Citi ThankYou Points, Bilt Rewards, and Chase Ultimate Rewards. All of these programs transfer to Virgin at a 1:1 ratio, meaning 1 credit card point becomes 1 Virgin point.

Bottom Line:

Finding this amount of ANA first-class availability is extremely rare. This is an excellent opportunity to use your points and miles to unlock some bucket-list travel.

Final Thoughts

Run, don’t walk. We’ve found ultra-rare award space — and plenty of it — in ANA first class for departures into 2026. If you have any interest in trying this incredible product, now is the time to book!
