ANA Mileage Club
Star Alliance · round-the-world charts · legendary premium cabins
Why we recommend it
All Nippon Airways' Mileage Club is loved for one thing: its round-the-world award chart. 115,000 miles in business class for a 22,000-25,000 mile routing — among the best aspirational award values ever printed. US flyers earn via Amex MR 1:1 transfers (with frequent 30-40% bonuses). ANA's own premium cabins are consistently rated best-in-class.
Highlights
- RTW awards: 115k biz / 150k first
- Amex MR 1:1 transfer partner
- Frequent 30-40% transfer bonuses
