Web Exclusive: 50% Off Mileage Campaign for ANA International Flights to Honolulu, Paris, Shanghai, Dalian, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen
The entrance to the best use of ANA miles in recent years is the “ANA International Award Ticket 50% Off Mileage Campaign” valid until September 30. Round trip tickets for the Shanghai, Dalian, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen routes start from 8,500 miles, Honolulu from 17,500 miles, and Paris from 22,500 miles.
However, the tickets obtained through this campaign are mainly for round trips between Japan and overseas, covering two flights. Although there is some value, it does not appear particularly noteworthy.
How to Use ANA International Flight Award Tickets
Now for something more niche. Refreshing on how to use ANA international flight award tickets might hint at the most powerful way to utilize miles.
When exchanging miles for ANA international flight award tickets, the required number of miles is calculated based on a zone system. In simple terms, if you’re flying from Japan, the miles needed vary by destination – Europe requires XX miles, the United States YY miles, Asia ZZ miles, and so on.
The advantage of this zone system is that it does not depend on the actual distance of the flight you take. Although there are a few rules, the primary point is that “even if you take a detour, the required miles remain the same.”
About Domestic Flights in Japan
With ANA international flight award tickets, up to two connections within Japan are allowed within 24 hours for both outbound and inbound journeys. In other words, you can include up to two domestic flight segments for both outbound and inbound trips.
This means a resident of Ishigaki Island could use a route like “Ishigaki → Okinawa/Naha → Tokyo → Shanghai.” There’s no specified route, so one could also fly “Tokyo → Sapporo → Fukuoka” or “Tokyo → Ishigaki → Osaka.” Of course, this depends on seat availability.
