Points to Note

  • Paid Advance Seat Reservation is applicable to seat types and is not a definite promise of a particular seat number.

    The reserved seat number is therefore subject to change to a different one of the same seat type for reasons such as aircraft changes. If your seat is changed and you would like to confirm this change or request a different seat, you can do so on the ANA website or by contacting an ANA customer service center. Please note that we may not be able to accommodate your request depending on seat availability.

  • If a selected seat with a reservation fee is changed to one without a reservation fee for reasons attributable to the airline, the charges for the seat you have already purchased will be refunded.

    Furthermore, if your seat type is changed from an exit row seat to another kind of seat with a reservation fee, you can request a refund for the difference after completing your travel.

    For information about requesting a refund, please contact the location that issued your EMD.

    • *

      Refund procedures cannot be performed at airport counters.

    • *

      Please note that it may take approximately 2 to 3 months before the refund is credited to your account.

  • The deadline for changing from a seat with a reservation fee that you have already purchased to a different seat is 48 hours prior to the departure of the relevant international flight. However, you can also change to a different seat if you wish to do so during online check-in or check-in procedures at the airport, providing that there is a seat available. In this instance, however, the EMD (Electronic Miscellaneous Document) for the seat with a reservation fee that you have already purchased will be considered used and will therefore not be refundable or available for use for other flights.

  • If your travel class is changed after the deadline (due to being upgraded, etc.), the EMD (Electronic Miscellaneous Document) you have already purchased for a seat with a reservation fee will be considered used and will therefore not be refundable or available for use for other flights.
