ANA refreshes Japan fares May 19

All Nippon Airways will switch to a new domestic fare structure for flights boarding on and after May 19, 2026. (anahd.co.jp) ANA said the new lineup replaces its current domestic fare setup with three main economy products: Simple, Standard and Flex. (ana.co.jp) Simple is the stripped-down option: one checked bag up to 23 kilograms, no upgrades, and seat selection only from 24 hours before departure at online check-in. (ana.co.jp) Standard includes two checked bags, free advance seat selection and upgrade eligibility, while flight changes are allowed for a fee until departure. Flex keeps the two-bag allowance and allows free changes, including on the day of departure. (ana.co.jp) (anahd.co.jp) ANA is also adding round-trip fares alongside one-way fares. The airline said travelers who book outbound and inbound flights together on the same fare can pay less than buying two one-way tickets. (ana.co.jp) The carrier is changing how some domestic itineraries are treated, too. If ANA designates a connecting airport between departure and final destination, that trip can be priced as a single segment, with connections of up to 24 hours in some cases. (ana.co.jp) The fare overhaul is part of a wider system change announced in May 2025. ANA said it is integrating domestic passenger service systems with its international systems and standardizing booking and boarding rules across both networks. (anahd.co.jp) ANA opened sales for the new domestic fares on May 29, 2025 at 9:00 a.m. Japan time. Tickets issued under the old domestic fare rules cannot be changed to flights departing on or after May 19, 2026; ANA says those customers must refund and rebook, with applicable fees. (ana.co.jp) The airline says the point of the reset is to make domestic fares easier to compare by bundling different levels of flexibility, baggage and seating into clearer products. On May 19, 2026, that becomes the default way to buy an ANA domestic ticket in Japan. (anahd.co.jp)
