Yes, ANA's availability on their own site is highly accurate.
Many people make speculative ANA bookings and change the dates as seats open up.
VS members will always be at a disadvantage here as it only takes a few seconds to change the date online for an ANA booking.
VS call wait times average 20-30 mins nowadays, of course the seat is long gone by the time you even get through to an agent.
