Key takeaways
- Two programs in this guide can put you on an ANA flight: ANA Mileage Club, and Virgin Atlantic Flying Club.
- Each bank table is built from the transfer partner list. A bank that does not list the program is not in the table.
- Use Mileage Club when you want ANA's own award, booked on ANA's site, for an ANA operated flight.
- Use Flying Club when you want the published one way business prices and you will ask Virgin to request the seat. Confirm it before you transfer.
Which programs can book ANA
Mileage Club is ANA's own program. The partner route we publish is book ANA with Virgin Atlantic. That page owns the call to Flying Club, the cash Virgin excludes from the chart, and the date change rule. This page is the choice between the two, and the banks that fund each one.
ANA prices an international award on a zone chart. That is a fixed award chart: the miles follow the zones, the season, and the cabin, not the cash fare that morning. The one way prices below are for reservations and tickets issued on or after June 24, 2025. Where the round trip chart prints a previous figure and a revised figure, the number here is the revised one. North America on this chart is Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, San Jose, Washington, D.C., New York, Chicago, Houston, Vancouver, and Mexico City. It is not every US airport. Hawaii on this chart is Honolulu. Europe on this chart is London, Paris, Frankfurt, Munich, Düsseldorf, Brussels, Vienna, Milan, Stockholm, Moscow, and Istanbul.

Miles from [ANA, international award mileage charts](https://www.ana.co.jp/en/jp/guide/amc/award/international/terms/), checked November 9, 2026. ANA also publishes the season dates on that page. This guide does not retype them. Other zone pairs stay on ANA's chart.
How to book ANA with Mileage Club
ANA says to book an international flight award on the ANA website. An ANA international award cannot be used on a codeshare that carries an ANA flight number and is operated by another airline. One way awards are available on tickets issued from June 24, 2025. The miles depend on the zones, the season, and the cabin. ANA says these awards start from 6,000 miles one way and 12,000 miles round trip. ANA lists economy, premium economy, business, and first. Source: [ANA, international flight awards](https://www.ana.co.jp/en/us/amc/international-flight-awards/), checked November 9, 2026.
Banks that list ANA Mileage Club: Amex Membership Rewards.
| Bank | Transfers at | Partner list checked |
|---|---|---|
| Amex Membership Rewards | 1:1 | October 29, 2026 |
Amex transfers to ANA at 1:1, checked October 29, 2026. Transfer only after ANA shows the seat. ANA prices its own international awards on a zone chart, which is a fixed award chart: the miles follow the zones, the season, and the cabin, not the cash fare that day.
Chase does not list ANA Mileage Club. A Chase balance does not move straight into ANA miles. The Flying Club section is the partner path to check next.
How to book ANA with Virgin Atlantic
Virgin says to contact the Flying Club team to spend points on ANA. Reward flights are subject to availability, blackout dates may apply, and the flight has to be operated by ANA. A flight ANA markets and another airline operates cannot be booked. Source: [Virgin Atlantic, ANA partner page](https://www.virginatlantic.com/en-US/flying-club/airline-partners/all-nippon-airways), checked November 9, 2026.
Banks that list Virgin Atlantic Flying Club: Chase Ultimate Rewards, Amex Membership Rewards, Citi ThankYou Points (1:1 on premium cards, 1:0.7 on other cards) and Bilt Rewards.
| Bank | Transfers at | Partner list checked |
|---|---|---|
| Chase Ultimate Rewards | 1:1 | October 16, 2026 |
| Amex Membership Rewards | 1:1 | October 29, 2026 |
| Citi ThankYou Points | 1:1 on premium cards, 1:0.7 on other cards | October 29, 2026 |
| Bilt Rewards | 1:1 | October 17, 2026 |
Capital One does not list Flying Club under that name. It lists Virgin Red at 1:1, checked October 29, 2026. Virgin's member support page says transfers use a Virgin Red or Flying Club ID, so check the account on the transfer screen before you send miles.
Flying Club publishes one points price per region and cabin, for a one way ticket. That is a fixed award chart. The two business prices readers ask about:
| Trip on Virgin's chart | Virgin Points, one way |
|---|---|
| Japan to Australia, Canada, or the Western USA, business | 52,500 |
| Japan to Europe, Central and Eastern USA, or Mexico, business | 60,000 |
Prices from Virgin Atlantic Flying Club ANA partner page, business class, Japan to Australia, Canada, or the Western USA, one way, checked November 9, 2026. The cash fare is not part of that price. Flying Club's ANA prices are for a one way ticket and exclude passenger taxes, duties, fees, charges and surcharges. The page does not print a dollar surcharge for trips from the US. The call to Flying Club, and the date change fee, are in how to book ANA with Virgin Atlantic. The Amex ranking that features this award is the best ways to use Amex points.
When to use ANA miles instead of Virgin Points
Price the same ANA operated flight both ways when you can fund both programs. ANA's site shows the Mileage Club price for your zone and season. Flying Club shows the chart price, then asks you to contact the team.
We value ANA miles at 1.3 cents per point and Virgin Points at 1.5 cents per point (The Points Guy, November 2026). Divide the cash fare, minus the taxes you still pay, by the points the award costs. If the result beats that figure, the booking is a good use. If it does not, pay cash or use the other program.
Use Mileage Club when you already hold the miles, or when Amex Membership Rewards is the balance you want to move, and ANA shows an ANA operated flight at a better result. Do not use an ANA award for a codeshare that another airline operates under an ANA flight number. ANA says to book that flight as a partner award under the operating carrier's flight number.
Use Flying Club when you want the published one way business price above, your bank lists Flying Club or Virgin Red, and Flying Club can confirm the seat. If they cannot confirm it, do not transfer. Business class is a strong redemption when that chart price and the cash on top still beat paying cash. The chart does not make every date available.
Run your own balance through the points value calculator.
