How to book, step by step
- Find ANA business award space ("saver" / partner space) on united.com or aeroplan.com, or with an award search tool, and check the flight is a 777-300ER with The Room.
- Call Virgin Atlantic Flying Club with the flight numbers and dates, ask them to hold or confirm the seat before you move any points.
- Transfer points into Flying Club (from Amex Membership Rewards or other partners in your country) and complete the booking on the call. Pay taxes by card.
Finding award availability
- The Room flies on ANA's 777-300ER, typically on Tokyo–London, Tokyo–New York and Tokyo–Los Angeles. ANA's 787s have an older business seat.
- ANA releases partner award seats roughly 355 days out and again close to departure. Two seats on the same flight are rare: be ready to fly on different days or split cabins.
- Search from Tokyo as well as to Tokyo; return legs often open on different dates.
Miles or cash?
Paying cash, a return business class ticket London → Tokyo starts from €1,800 and is typically €5,500 (our benchmark, September 2026). Two one-way awards at 60,000 miles each against the typical fare work out at roughly 4.6 euro cents per mile before taxes and surcharges. If the cheapest cash fare is close to the taxes you would pay on the award, keep your miles and pay cash.
Watch out for
- Virgin cannot search ANA awards online. Never transfer points before an agent confirms the seat.
- Virgin adds carrier surcharges on ANA; Aeroplan costs more points but less cash. Compare both totals.
- Aircraft swaps happen: a 777-300ER can be replaced by a 787 without The Room.
