How to Fly ANA The Room Business Class With Points

The short answer: ANA The Room is widely called the best business class in the world, a huge private suite on the 777 that rivals many first-class products. You can book it with ANA own Mileage Club miles, the Virgin Atlantic sweet spot, or Star Alliance partners, all reachable from flexible points and Rove.

What ANA The Room is

The Room is ANA newest business class on the 777-300ER, with an unusually wide private suite, a sliding door, and a seat that converts to a generous bed. It is so spacious that many flyers rate it above other airlines first-class cabins, which makes it one of the most sought-after business products to Japan and beyond.

How to book it

Three routes stand out. ANA own Mileage Club, fed by American Express, prices a low fixed round-trip but requires round-trip booking. Virgin Atlantic Flying Club has a well-known sweet spot for ANA business to Tokyo, and Virgin Points come from Chase, Amex, Citi, and Capital One, plus Bilt and Rove. And Star Alliance partners like Air Canada Aeroplan and United can book it too. See our ANA guide and Virgin Atlantic guide.

Finding the space

ANA releases reasonable business space, but The Room operates on specific 777 routes, so match your trip to an aircraft that flies it, often US to Tokyo. Compare ANA Mileage Club, Virgin Atlantic, and Aeroplan pricing for the best deal. Our guides on finding award space and business class redemptions go deeper.

Who it is for

The Room suits travelers to Japan who want a business fare with a near-first experience, especially round-trip through ANA Mileage Club for the low fixed price. Confirm a 777 with The Room, then transfer. Award prices and availability change constantly as programs devalue and adjust, so treat every points figure here as a rough, illustrative guide rather than a guarantee. Always confirm the current price and that an award seat is actually available on the airline own site before you transfer points, since transfers are one-way and cannot be reversed.
