Fare Calculation Rules

The fare basis date refers to the date when the flight ticket is purchased, and serves as the standard for determining the fare amount of the flight ticket.

The fare basis date differs for every flight.

Here are several examples demonstrating fare calculation rules and fare basis date.

The applicable fare amount is the amount at the time of purchase.

If you are changing the boarding date of a ticket with a fare where rebooking is permitted, a new fare based on the fare of your new boarding date on the day of your initial purchase will be applied.

When changes are made between peak and normal periods, the difference in the fares will be charged or refunded as appropriate.

Please note that in the following cases, the flight ticket purchase date and fare basis date are different.

The applicable fare amount is the amount stated at the time of payment method selection. Please note that the actual amount is not the fare amount at the time of payment (remittance).

The fare basis date can be checked by clicking on the "Fare Details" button shown on the payment settlement completed screen or the View Reservation Screen that appears following payment settlement.

(Q) Flight tickets that permit reservation change are priced different depending on the travel date (period). If there is a difference between the original fare and new fare, will the difference be charged or refunded?

(A) The fare for the boarding date set on the date the flight ticket was purchased is applied. This means that, if the fare for the original boarding date set on the date the flight ticket was purchased is different from the fare for the new boarding date, the difference will be charged or refunded.

(Q) If a purchased "ANA FLEX" is changed to a "ANA VALUE" on the Internet, what will be the fare basis date?

(A) The fare basis date is the date the change to "ANA VALUE" is made.

(Q) If a flight ticket is purchased at a convenience store, is it possible that the fare amount indicated on the payment slip differs from the fare amount applicable on the date of purchase?

(A) If payment is made using a payment slip, the fare amount presented when the payment method was selected is applied, which means that the printed fare amount on the payment slip will not change.

(Q) When do fare amounts change?

(A) If fare amounts are to be changed, the changes become effective at midnight. The new fare amounts will not change on the same day. Please refer to the Information on Fare Setting/Changes

The fare basis changes depending on the date of purchase, the date a change was made, or similar.

Here are several examples demonstrating fare calculation rules and fare basis date.

On the purchase date, the fare valid on the start date of your trip will be applied. (The booking class and seasonality of each flight will apply to the outbound and return flight boarding dates.)
A Flex round trip is purchased on 4/5, with an outbound part (4/10, ANA51, Haneda to Chitose) and an inbound part (4/30, ANA58, Chitose to Haneda).

Even if a price increase is subsequently made on 4/12 to the fare amounts for April flights, the inbound fare amount will not be changed, as both the outbound and inbound fare amounts valid for the start date of the trip (4/10) on the ticketing date (4/5) will be applied.

On the change date, the fare valid on the start date of the trip will be applied to the entire itinerary. (The booking class and seasonality of each flight will apply to the outbound and return flight boarding dates.)
A Flex round trip is purchased on 5/25, with an outbound part (7/1, ANA 253, Tokyo/Haneda to Fukuoka) and an inbound part (10/3, ANA 258, Fukuoka to Tokyo/Haneda).

If changes are made to the reserved flights for the outbound (7/3, ANA 253, Tokyo/Haneda to Fukuoka) and inbound (10/4, ANA 258, Fukuoka to Tokyo/Haneda) parts on 7/1, the fare amounts valid for the start date of the trip on the day that the changes are made (= 7/1) will be applied for both parts.

On the purchase date, the fare amount valid on the start date of the trip will be applied to the sector that is being changed. (The booking class and seasonality of each flight will apply to the outbound and return flight boarding dates.)
A Flex round trip is purchased on 5/25, with an outbound part (7/1, ANA 253, Tokyo/Haneda to Fukuoka) and an inbound part (10/3, ANA 258, Fukuoka to Tokyo/Haneda).

After boarding the outbound flight on 7/1, if changes are made to the reserved flight for the inbound part (10/4, ANA 258, Fukuoka to Tokyo/Haneda) on 7/3, the fare amount valid for the start date of the trip (7/1) on the purchase date (5/25) will be applied to the inbound part.

(Q) Flight tickets that permit reservation change are priced different depending on the travel date (period). If there is a difference between the original fare and new fare, will the difference be charged or refunded?

(A) The fare amount applied depends on the timing of the purchase or the timing of the change, etc.
Please see above for further details.

(Q) Where can I find out if fare amounts have changed?

(A) Whether fare amounts have been changed can be checked at information on Fare Setting/Changes.
