Many of the best opportunities in the convoluted frequent flyer world- require workarounds. In other words- it’s not just about transferring your points to the airline you’d like to fly.

Finding ANA First Class Award Space Is (Mostly) Easy…

Back to the convoluted idea. To make this work: we search for ANA flights on United.com, and then we call Virgin Atlantic to book. If that sounds standard to you- congrats. If it sounds crazy, you’re not alone. But it WORKS. Search for availability using United.com, Aeroplan.com or ANA and when you find space- call Virgin Atlantic (you cant book online) to book for 120,000 points round trips. You must book round trip. Here are a few pro tips…

1. ANA often only releases one first class seat at a time, but they often release more than one seat. Essentially, if a flight has less than 3 people sitting in First Class, there’s more a more than likely chance they’ll make a second seat available using miles. Set alerts on ExpertFlyer for the dates you want, so you’ll be first to know.
2. When you call Virgin Atlantic, be sure to feed them the ANA flight numbers and all other pertinent details. It’s possible someone won’t have a clue what you’re talking about, so the more info you have to be helpful- the better. Don’t be afraid to ask for a supervisor, politely.
3. As we mentioned, you shouldn’t transfer points from Amex, Citi or Chase into Virgin Atlantic until you find seats you can actually use. Once they leave the bank, they can’t go back. Enjoy!
