Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book your ANA award flights for travel to Japan during the cherry blossom season by securing your tickets in early January, particularly for routes like Los Angeles (LAX) to Tokyo (NRT), as availability tends to diminish rapidly as the travel date approaches.

Sweet Spot

You can fly round-trip from the U.S. to Japan for 90,000 miles with ANA, which typically costs around $1,200 in cash.

Routing Trick

Book a round-trip from Los Angeles (LAX) to Tokyo (NRT), then continue to Bangkok (BKK) on a single award ticket, as this can cost only 90,000 miles in business class instead of the 100,000 miles typically required for a separate LAX-BKK ticket, saving you 10,000 miles.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines, as they charge up to $100 for a carry-on bag and $55 for a checked bag, significantly increasing your travel costs.
