The number of Upgrade Awards seats is limited. (Upgrade seats may not be available on some flights.) Seats may be unavailable with Awards on some flights, even if seats are available with paid tickets on the same flight. Thank you for your understanding.

Upgrade Awards cannot be used together with International Flight Awards.

When using Upgrade Awards, accumulation of miles and ANA Premium Points are based on the class of the ticket you purchased.

If connecting with an ANA flight from other airline, through check-in for upgraded flights is not always allowed due to various factors including the airport of departure, the airline used, or computer systems. In such cases, members are required to check-in again at an airport for transit.

Other than stipulated in the "Refund Service for unused awards," mileage that has been redeemed for Upgrade Awards cannot be refunded to a mileage account.

Upgrade to business class for the Narita-Mumbai route is available only for the flights operated with aircraft including an economy class.
