Please review the points at the following links before using awards.
Itineraries
- The location which requires the largest amount of miles to redeem an award for from the selected departure point is considered to be the destination.
- Connections cannot be made in the respective departure and destination points in the outbound and return journeys.
ExampleAn Itinerary Which Cannot Be Used with Award Tickets
[Tokyo]⇒[Sapporo](transfer within 24 hours)⇒[Tokyo](transfer within 24 hours)⇒[Frankfurt]⇒[Tokyo]
Reason:
The outbound journey passes through the first city (Tokyo) again, so this itinerary cannot be used with an award ticket.
ExampleAn Itinerary Which Can Be Used with Award Tickets
[Tokyo]⇒[Seoul]⇒[Tokyo](transfer within 24 hours)⇒[Fukuoka]
Reason:
The return journey passes through Tokyo. However, since it does not pass through the first city (Seoul) or the last city (Fukuoka), this itinerary can be used with an award ticket.
- There are restrictions regarding the selection of connecting points. (Not applicable to Star Alliance Round the World itineraries.)

| Area 2 | Europe, Middle East, Africa |
| Area 3 | Japan, South Korea, China, Southeast Asia, South Asia, Southwest Pacific |

ExampleAn Itinerary Which Cannot Be Used with Award Tickets
[Moscow (Area 2)]⇒[Singapore (Area 3)](transfer within 24 hours)⇒[Johannesburg (Area 2)]⇒[Singapore (Area 3)](transfer within 24 hours)⇒[Moscow (Area 2)]
Reason:
When using flight awards for an itinerary from Moscow (Area 2) to Johannesburg (Area 2), connecting points in Area 1 and Area 3 cannot be selected. In this example, flight awards cannot be used due to a connection in Singapore (Area 3).
- [To Enable Flight Award Usage]
- Change the connecting point to a city in Area 2.
- It is not possible to select a connecting point in a zone which has a higher mileage requirement from the departure point than the destination.
If the mileage requirement from the connecting point to the destination is higher than that from the departure point to the destination, then that connecting point also cannot be selected.
Example 1:An Itinerary Which Cannot Be Used with Award Tickets
[Tokyo (Zone 1)]⇒[New York (Zone 6)]⇒[Honolulu (Zone 5)]⇒[Tokyo (Zone 1)]
Reason:
The mileage requirement from the departure point [Tokyo (Zone 1)] to the connection point [New York (Zone 6)] is higher than that from the departure point [Tokyo (Zone 1)] to the destination [Honolulu (Zone 5)].
- [To Enable Flight Award Usage]
- In order to use flight awards, New York (Zone 6) would need to be set as the destination.
Example 2:An Itinerary Which Cannot Be Used with Award Tickets
[Tokyo (Zone 1)]⇒[Seoul (Zone 2)]⇒[Los Angeles (Zone 6)]⇒[Tokyo (Zone 1)]
Reason:
The mileage requirement from the connection point [Seoul (Zone 2)] to the destination [Los Angeles (Zone 6)] is higher than that from the departure point [Tokyo (Zone 1)] to the destination [Los Angeles (Zone 6)]. Therefore, flight awards cannot be used for this itinerary.
ExampleAn Itinerary Which Can Be Used with Award Tickets
[Tokyo (Zone 1)]⇒[New York (Zone 6)]⇒[Honolulu (Zone 5)]⇒[Tokyo (Zone 1)]
Reason:
The mileage requirement from the departure point [Tokyo (Zone 1)] to the destination [New York (Zone 6)] is higher than that from the departure point [Tokyo (Zone 1)] to the connecting point [Honolulu (Zone 5)].
- If the departure point and the final return point are not the same, they must still be within the same country.
ExampleAn Itinerary Which Can Be Used with Award Tickets
[Osaka]⇒[Beijing]⇒[Tokyo]
Reason:
The departure point (Osaka) and the final return point (Tokyo) are both in Japan, so this itinerary can be used with an award ticket.
- *Hong Kong, Macau, and China are considered to be separate countries for award ticket itinerary purposes.
- *With the exception of itineraries which are solely within Scandinavia, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden are considered to be the same country for award ticket itinerary purposes.
- *The United States and Canada are considered to be the same country for award ticket itinerary purposes.
- *With the exception of itineraries which are solely within Europe, all of Europe is considered to be the same country for award ticket itinerary purposes.
- If the last city of the outbound journey is different from the first city of the return journey, they must still be within the same area.
ExampleAn Itinerary Which Can Be Used with Award Tickets
[Tokyo (Area 3)]⇒[Frankfurt (Area 2)]⇒[Paris (Area 2)]⇒[Tokyo (Area 3)]
Reason:
Although the destination of the outbound journey (Frankfurt) is different from the departure point of the return journey (Paris), both cities are located within Area 2 so this itinerary can be used with an award ticket.
- *Excluding itineraries which involve ground transportation between Hawaii (Zone 5) and Central and South America (Zone 9).
- *Excluding some itineraries which involve ground transportation between North America (Zone 6) and Central and South America (Zone 9).
- If the last city of the outbound journey and the first city of the return journey are in different zones, the required mileage for each zone is divided by 2, then totaled.
ExampleAn Itinerary Which Can Be Used with Award Tickets
[Tokyo (Zone 1)]⇒[Honolulu (Zone 5)]⇒[Los Angeles (Zone 6)]⇒[Tokyo (Zone 1)]
Reason:
The destination of the outbound journey [Honolulu (Zone 5)] and the departure point of the return journey [Los Angeles (Zone 6)] are in different zones. Therefore, the required mileage between Japan (Zone 1) and Hawaii (Zone 5) as well as the required mileage between Japan (Zone 1) and North America (Zone 6) are divided by 2, then totaled.
Stopovers and Transfers
- Stopovers (Exceeding 24 Hours)
- For itineraries departing from Japan and itineraries departing from other countries, 1 stopover is permitted on either the outbound or return journey.
- Transfers
- Itineraries within Japan can have up to 2 transfers on both the outbound and return journeys. International flight itineraries can also have up to 2 transfers on both the outbound and return journeys.

ExampleAn Itinerary Which Can Be Used with Award Tickets
[Tokyo]⇒[Bangkok]⇒[Singapore]⇒[Bangkok]⇒[Tokyo]
Reason:
Reason: Since 1 stopover (exceeding 24 hours) is permitted on either the outbound or return journey, a stopover in Bangkok can be made on either the journey to or from Singapore.
- *Please see the zones for information on the zones for the departure and destination points.
Round the World Itineraries

Up to 8 stopovers are permitted between the departure point and the final return point. (Up to 3 stopovers are permitted within Europe and up to 4 stopovers are permitted within Japan.) The departure date of the final international flight to return to the country of departure must be at least 10 days after the departure of the first international flight on the itinerary.
You can book maximum of 12 flight segments and 4 ground transfer segments on one ticket. Transfers between airports in the same city also count as ground transfer segments.
