ANA: flights, cabins and points from Canada

ANA, All Nippon Airways, links Vancouver with Tokyo Haneda and onward destinations in Japan and Asia. When booking, distinguish the operating airline from the program issuing your ticket.

This guide was checked on October 28, 2026. Aircraft, seats, and award availability can change before departure.

ANA from Canada: Vancouver and Haneda

ANA’s Canadian website lists Vancouver–Tokyo Haneda in its network. From another Canadian city, compare a connection through Vancouver with other available itineraries. A booking sold by ANA may include partner-operated segments.

Check the airport for every Tokyo flight. Arriving at Haneda and departing from Narita requires a ground transfer and sufficient time. The city name alone does not guarantee a same-airport connection.

For a domestic connection, review terminals, baggage handling, and connection time. A single ticket can help when you need protection across the journey.

Cabins: THE Room, THE Room FX, and other seats

ANA’s international seat maps show several configurations. A Boeing 787-9 does not identify one cabin product.

THE Room appears on a 777-300ER configuration. THE Room FX is a separate product for selected 787-9 aircraft. ANA describes its door-equipped seat on the 206-seat configuration. An ANA Business label alone guarantees neither.

Before paying for Business, review your flight’s seat map, aisle access, and seat type. Check again after a schedule or aircraft change.

Premium Economy is a separate cabin from Economy, rather than a Business Class bed. Confirm it on the segment you intend to book.

Our historical ANA Boeing 787 review, published in November 2019, covers Singapore–Narita. That specific trip does not establish today’s product from Vancouver.

Baggage and ticket rules

For international flights, ANA allows one cabin bag and one personal item, weighing up to 10 kg combined. Size limits also apply, including to airport purchases.

Read the checked-baggage allowance and extra charges for your booking. Partner rules can apply on some itineraries. Also compare:

Seat selection: included or charged separately.
Changes: any fee and fare difference.
Cancellation: refund eligibility and deadlines.

An award ticket follows the issuing program’s rules. Avoid applying ANA cash-fare conditions to a ticket booked through a different program.

ANA lounges: check eligibility

ANA lounge access depends on cabin, status, and airport. ANA LOUNGE and ANA SUITE LOUNGE have different eligibility.

ANA lists Premium Economy access at selected lounges departing Japan. This does not establish the same entitlement at every Canadian or partner airport.

Star Alliance Gold status can provide another route under its conditions. A Canadian card’s lounge network follows separate rules and does not replace ANA’s policy.

Booking ANA through Aeroplan

Aeroplan lets Canadians search for partner award seats on ANA. Review the Aeroplan partners, then search your dates and party size.

A seat sold by ANA may be unavailable through Aeroplan. Check each segment and cabin. A journey labelled Business may contain a long Economy segment.

Add points, taxes, and partner booking fees. Compare change and cancellation rules too. Our Air Canada hub covers Aeroplan basics, while the United hub describes another network option.

ANA Mileage Club is a separate program

ANA Mileage Club has its own awards and conditions. An Aeroplan balance does not transfer into ANA Mileage Club.

The Canadian Amex airline-transfer directory includes Aeroplan, but no direct ANA Mileage Club transfer. U.S. Amex options do not apply to Canadian Membership Rewards.

If you already hold ANA miles, check account rules, beneficiaries, charges, and expiry on the official ANA Mileage Club website. Compare that route with Aeroplan before moving points from elsewhere.

Canadian cards for Aeroplan bookings

Cobalt: transferring to Aeroplan

The American Express Cobalt Card earns Membership Rewards. Canadian transfers to Aeroplan can support an ANA partner booking when seats are available. The transfer does not fund ANA Mileage Club.

American Express Cobalt^® Card

American Express Amex Membership Rewards

Annual fee: $191.88
Our valuationMilesopedia first-year estimate First-year valueWelcome bonus$255Total$255Rewards on your spending are not included. The calculator that adds them from your own profile is on the card's page.: $255
Welcome offerGet 1,250 points after $750 in purchases per month for 12 months: Up to 15,000 points

The American Express Cobalt^® Card is a versatile American Express card, whether you want points for travel or cash back.

American Express Cobalt^® Card welcome offer

The welcome bonus is paid out monthly over your first 12 months. You earn 1,250 Membership Rewards points for each monthly billing period in which you charge $750 in net purchases to your card, in any category (1X, 2X, 3X or 5X). That adds up to 15,000 Membership Rewards points over the year, a welcome offer valued at $255.

Earning the full bonus means $9,000 in net purchases spread across 12 monthly billing periods. This offer rewards steady monthly spending rather than one large purchase.

You can use these points as statement credits on everyday or travel purchases, at the same rate either way: 1,000 points = $10.

You can also transfer them to Aeroplan, Avios (British Airways and Qatar Airways), Flying Blue, Marriott Bonvoy or Hilton Honors. With the full welcome bonus, that is a choice between:

15,000 Aeroplan points
15,000 Avios points
15,000 Flying Blue Miles
18,000 Marriott Bonvoy points

American Express Cobalt^® Card benefits

Here is what the card gives you, starting with the benefits cardholders use most.

5X points on eligible eats and drinks in Canada: groceries, restaurants and bars, and home food delivery. A spend cap applies.
3X points on eligible streaming subscriptions in Canada.
2X points on eligible gas, public transit and ride sharing purchases in Canada.
1 additional point on eligible hotel and car rental bookings made through American Express Travel Online.
1X point per dollar on everything else, with no category restrictions.
Points that hold the same value either way: 1,000 points = $10 as a statement credit, or a 1:1 transfer to several airline and hotel loyalty programs.
No minimum income requirement, as with every American Express Canada card.
Additional cards at no extra cost: the first and every other supplementary card is $0.
The Hotel Collection: a room upgrade when available, 12pm check-in and late check-out when available, and up to $100 USD in hotel credit on amenities charged to the room for a stay of two or more consecutive nights, booked through American Express Travel.
Front Of The Line^® presale and reserved tickets for concerts and theatre performances, plus offers and events curated for cardmembers through Amex Experiences.
A soft credit check before you apply: you can see whether you will be approved with no impact to your credit score. This applies to American Express personal card applications.

The 5X categories and where they apply

The 5X rate is the reason most people carry this card. In Canada it covers three kinds of merchants:

Groceries: Metro, IGA, Sobeys, Super C, Safeway, Whole Foods.
Restaurants and bars: sit-down meals, takeout and drinks.
Home food delivery.
Convenience stores (Couche-Tard, 7-Eleven): not part of 5X, 1 point per dollar.

The 2X rate covers gas stations such as Esso, Shell and Petro-Canada, along with public transit and ride sharing.

With the American Express Cobalt^® Card, you earn between 1 and 5 points per dollar:

Category	Points per dollar
Grocery (Metro, IGA, Sobeys, Super C, etc.)	5
Home food delivery	5
Restaurants and bars	5
Convenience stores	1
Streaming services	3
Service station	2
Transport	2
Travel	1
Other	1

That works out to a 1 to 5% return on those purchases. For example, if you spend $1,000 per month across groceries, restaurants and food delivery, you earn $50 back per month, or $600 per year from that category alone. Transfer the points to a program such as Aeroplan instead and the return can be higher.

You can also stack these categories with the hundreds of stores that offer 5x points.

American Express Cobalt^® Card insurance coverage

The card comes with a broad insurance package. The amounts below are the coverage limits; conditions, age limits and exclusions are set out in the certificate of insurance linked in the Insurance section above.

Travel insurance

Emergency medical: up to $5,000,000 for the first 15 days of a trip.
Travel accident: accidental death and dismemberment of up to $250,000 for you, your spouse and dependent children under age 23 when travelling on a common carrier (plane, train, bus or ship) and the tickets are charged to your card. Supplementary cardholders and their families are covered too.
Flight delay: up to $500 for necessary hotel, meal and sundry expenses bought within 48 hours when you are delayed or denied boarding for four hours or more and no other transportation is available. This $500 is an aggregate limit per occurrence, shared with missed connection and delayed baggage coverage.
Delayed baggage: up to $500 for essential clothing and sundries bought within four days when your outbound luggage is delayed six hours or more. This $500 is an aggregate limit per occurrence, shared with missed connection and flight delay coverage.
Lost or stolen baggage: up to $500 per occurrence for all insured persons combined, for checked or carry-on baggage and personal effects in transit, when the airline tickets are charged to your card. Within that limit, jewellery is capped at $300 per occurrence and golf clubs, including golf bags, at $250 per occurrence.
Hotel and motel burglary: up to $500 against the loss of most personal items if your hotel or motel is burglarized, when the stay is charged to your card.

Rental car insurance

Theft and damage coverage is included for a rental car with an MSRP, for its model year, of up to $85,000 excluding all taxes, for rentals of up to 48 days. To use it, decline the Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) or any similar option from the rental company and charge the full rental to your card. There is no cost for this coverage, and it replaces the daily insurance the rental company charges, usually $16 to $23 per day.

Mobile device insurance

Your device is covered for up to $1,000 per occurrence when it is charged to the card, for up to two years from the date of purchase. The payout is based on the depreciated value of the device, which falls by 2% of the purchase price for every completed month, less a 10% deductible. Theft and accidental damage coverage starts on the 91st day after purchase, because the first 90 days are covered by purchase protection.

Purchase protection and extended warranty

Eligible items charged to your card are insured against accidental physical damage or theft for 90 days from the purchase date, up to $1,000 per occurrence for all items combined. The card also extends the original manufacturer’s warranty by up to one additional year on eligible items, with indemnification limited to $10,000 per insured item and $25,000 per Cardmember per policy year for all items combined.

American Express Cobalt^® Card fees

Card fee: $15.99 per month, which equals $191.88 per year, for residents outside Quebec. Quebec residents are billed $191.88 per year.
Additional cards: $0.
Purchase interest rate: 21.99%.
Cash advance interest rate: 21.99%.
Foreign transaction fee: 2.5%.
Minimum income required: none.

Because the fee is billed monthly rather than in one annual charge, you can stop and restart the cost in step with how much you are actually using the card.

Buying points before booking

Our buy Aeroplan points link is affiliated: Milesopedia may earn a commission. Purchased points remain Aeroplan points, usable for an ANA award only when available.

No direct ANA miles purchase affiliate link was confirmed. Buying Aeroplan points does not add miles to ANA Mileage Club.

First find a seat for every traveller. Add the purchase, taxes, and fees, then compare with cash. Posting delays or disappearing availability can prevent the booking.

Which ANA route links Canada with Japan?

ANA’s Canadian website lists Vancouver–Tokyo Haneda. Check your travel date and any partner-operated segments in booking.

Is THE Room guaranteed from Vancouver?

No. THE Room and THE Room FX identify specific products and configurations. Aircraft type or cabin name alone is insufficient.

Can I book ANA with Aeroplan?

Yes, when partner award seats are offered for your dates. Not every cash seat sold by ANA is available through Aeroplan.

Does Amex Canada transfer directly to ANA Mileage Club?

The Canadian directory does not offer that direct transfer. This guide uses Aeroplan to book an available ANA partner award.

What is ANA’s international cabin-baggage weight limit?

One cabin bag and one personal item are allowed, weighing up to 10 kg combined. Size limits and itinerary exceptions apply.

Does Premium Economy always include an ANA lounge?

Access depends on the airport and applicable conditions. ANA provides selected access departing Japan; check other airports separately.

Do my Aeroplan card benefits cover every ANA flight?

No. A benefit reserved for Air Canada does not automatically extend to ANA. Read the conditions for each benefit.
