ANA's Star Alliance Round the World page still displays its mileage chart and itinerary rules. Above those details, however, it says new award-ticket issuance ended on June 23, 2025. Tickets issued through that date can be used under the stated arrangements until their ticket expiration.
For someone planning a new trip in October 2026, the chart's continued presence is not evidence that the product remains bookable. Read the notice before collecting routes, miles or transfer balances for a new round-the-world award.
Put the status of the product first
An old search result can take you straight to an attractive mileage figure. Start at the top of the current official page instead. Check whether a program still issues the ticket, which ticket dates the page covers and what the notice says about existing bookings.
The ANA Mileage Club points-value page provides currency context. Our program directory helps compare other options. Neither turns a discontinued award product into a current booking opportunity.
Treat an old ticket differently from a new plan
If you hold a qualifying older ticket, read its actual expiration and contact ANA about the changes you need. The published notice concerning existing tickets is not a promise that every requested route or date remains available.
Keep the original ticket number and itinerary together. Ask how a proposed change affects the ticket before canceling anything. A current roundtrip or one-way award is a separate product and should not be assumed to preserve an older round-the-world ticket's terms.
Our segment-by-segment award guide is useful for checking what you actually hold. The operating-airline checklist helps identify who flies each leg. Apply ANA's own rules to any change rather than borrowing another issuer's policy.
Build a new journey from available tickets
Start with the places and dates that matter most. Search each major flight using a program that currently sells the reward you want. Record both the points and cash charges, then assess the trip as a whole.
Multiple tickets can create separate change deadlines and a need to manage connections yourself. Leave enough time for a route that still works if one flight changes. Include any overnight stay, local transport and baggage collection in the plan instead of adding up only the mileage figures.
Use our Aeroplan stopover guide and the waitlist planning guide for two different tools that may shape a multi-city trip. Their existence is not a replacement promise for ANA's discontinued product. Price a real itinerary under each program's current conditions.
Make the airport plan visible
A journey across several regions can contain different airports in the same city. Lounge Frog’s Narita directory and the Singapore Changi directory can help you explore airport facilities while you check the actual route.
For a flight combined with a sailing, use Cruise Frog’s port directory to keep the ground journey and boarding day in view. A reward plan is useful only when its separate parts fit together.
Save dated search results and official conditions for the alternatives you choose. The lesson is broader than one old chart: confirm that the booking product still exists before moving points toward it. A detailed historical guide can be accurate about the past and still be the wrong starting point for a new trip.
