Booking ANA Awards with Stopover and Open Jaw
Yesterday, I booked a flight for me and my cousin Timmy to Brazil on ANA miles. Booking ANA awards on non-Star partners isn’t easy, mind you, but it worked. Eventually.

Part 1: Mandatory Emirates First Class Review: NEW YORK-DUBAI EK204 Part 2: One Day in Dubai I was debating whether or not I should do another Emirates First Class Review, since it was the same A380 flight with the same configuration, and it was only about a six-hour flight.

This Is Why the New ANA Devaluation Is a Big Deal!
ANA is a 5-star Skytrax-rated Japanese airline that offers excellent service in all cabins.
