Usage Policy for Infants and Children

One infant per adult may sit on the adult's lap and travel free of charge.
Infants who require their own seat must have a ticket purchased with a upgrade-eligible fare, and will require the same amount of mileage as an adult for upgrades.
Children (2–11 years of age)
A ticket must be purchased with a upgrade-eligible fare, and will require the same amount of mileage as an adult for upgrades.

Notes
- Prioritized reservation and wait-list is available for upgrade on ANA domestic flight for premium members boarding on ANA Group operated flights when using member's own mileage. Registered award users who use awards while not accompanied by the AMC member are not eligible for priority reservations.
- The number of seats that can be used with upgrade awards is limited (and such seats may not be available on some flights).
There may be cases when awards cannot be used even if normal fare seats are available. - When using Upgrade Awards, mileage and ANA Premium Point accrual will be calculated based on the fare of the ticket originally purchased.
- With the exception of miles which are eligible for unused award refunds, miles which have been used for award redemption cannot be refunded to a mileage account or exchanged for another award, even if the originally redeemed award was not used.
- The member or passenger will be responsible for any expenses incurred by using Upgrade Awards.
