All Nippon AirwaysNH

All Nippon Airways (ANA) is Japan's largest airline and one of Asia's most respected carriers, headquartered in Minato, Tokyo. With a fleet of 246 aircraft—including the world's largest fleet of Boeing 787 Dreamliners (71 aircraft)—ANA operates an extensive network spanning domestic Japan and international routes across Asia, Europe, North America, and Oceania.

As a founding member of Star Alliance since 1999, ANA offers seamless connectivity through 25+ partner airlines worldwide. The airline has earned SKYTRAX's prestigious 5-Star rating for 13 consecutive years (2013-2025)—the only Japanese airline to achieve this distinction and one of only 10 airlines worldwide to hold the rating. In 2025, ANA won World's Best Airport Services for the 12th time and Best Airline Staff Service in Asia for the 10th time.

ANA is renowned for its meticulous Japanese hospitality ("omotenashi"), cutting-edge cabin products including THE Room business class (the widest business class seat in the world at 37.5 inches) and THE Suite first class (featuring a 42-inch screen—the largest on any commercial aircraft), and an extensive domestic network connecting all of Japan.

At the Airport

• Haneda vs Narita: Haneda is closer to Tokyo (20 min vs 60+ min). Choose based on convenience if options exist
• Arrive early for lounges: ANA SUITE LOUNGE at Narita is worth extra time—exceptional food and service
• Weight your carry-on: The 10 kg limit is enforced. Weigh bags before arriving
• Skip the Line: Business and First passengers can use dedicated immigration lanes at Haneda/Narita

In-Flight

Common Issues

• Domestic baggage: Weight-based system differs from international piece system
• Partner award surcharges: Some Star Alliance partners add high fuel surcharges—ANA metal often cheaper
• Premium Points expiration: Status resets annually; plan qualification flights accordingly
• Upgrade Points ending: The upgrade points service ends FY2026—use before expiration
