ANA trip planner
How does the ANA trip planner work?
The ANA trip planner on Award Travel Finder plans flights and hotels on points for a trip that includes ANA (NH) flights out of Tokyo Haneda or Narita, and keeps that trip's searches and bookings together. The plan uses the ANA award seats sold by Virgin Australia Velocity, checked daily and priced in Velocity points rather than Mileage Club miles. Route monitors and award alerts do not cover ANA, so no alert will fire for ANA seats and you check the daily-sampled seats inside the trip yourself. When you find a date with space, you book on the Velocity website with its points, then open the trip for a plan and a briefing before you fly.

Questions about ANA trip planner
Will the ANA trip planner alert me when ANA award seats appear?
No. Route monitors and award alerts do not cover ANA, because the automatic monitor check never searches ANA. What works is the daily check of ANA award seats sold by Virgin Australia Velocity, which you can look through inside your trip.
Which points does an ANA trip use?
The ANA seats in the plan are priced in Virgin Australia Velocity points, not ANA Mileage Club miles. ANA is a Star Alliance member, so programmes such as United MileagePlus and Aeroplan can also book ANA flights, and ANA's own programme may release different seats to its members.
When should I start planning an ANA trip?
ANA award seats release about 355 days before departure. The partner books at 09:00 JST 355 days before departure, counted from the return-leg date. ANA metal has been bookable one-way since 24 Jun 2025, and partner one-way awards from 19 May 2026.
Can I plan an ANA First or Business trip?
You can plan around ANA's cabins: Economy, Premium Economy, Business and First. The Room and The Suite are on selected 777s only. The plan shows the points, taxes, seats and booking class sampled for the seats sold by Velocity.
