First Class
ANA first class overview
ANAfirst class represents the carrier's flagship cabin — the most private, most spacious, and most refined experience they offer. Excellent value for Japan travel. Food rivals first class on other airlines. The ANA Lounge at Haneda with teppanyaki bar is exceptional. Star Alliance benefits are a plus.
First class availability is limited — not every ANA flight has a first cabin, and the seats sell out fastest. Our consolidator contracts include dedicated first class inventory on most ANA long-haul routes, at rates 45–60%below published retail. Across the carrier's premium offering, first sits above the business cabin in cabin crew ratio, meal service, lounge access tier, and ground handling — every touchpoint from check-in to deplaning is upgraded.

Booking Notes
How to book ANA first class
- ANA first class typically operates on Boeing 777-300ER, Boeing 787-9, Boeing 787-10 only — not every route or aircraft swap will have a first cabin, so we confirm specific equipment before ticketing.
- Award redemptions on ANA Mileage Club or partner programs can release as little as 14 days out; we monitor seat-map releases on flagship routes.
- Cash + miles upgrades from business class vary by program. Status tier (e.g. Star Alliance top-tier) often unlocks better upgrade availability.
- Refund and change rules differ from business class — most consolidator first fares are refundable for a fee with longer ticket validity.
- For groups (3+ passengers), reach out before booking — first class cabins are small (typically 4–14 seats) and we secure the inventory together.
