Booked ANA tickets with Virgin miles - cancellation/changes
I've booked ANA tickets for April 2021, with Virgin points - a mix of business and first class. Not sure I'll be able to make it now, due to work 
I was thinking of holding on to see if the flights are cancelled - if they are, will I be offered seats on a future flight, or will I be searching for (scarce!) availability? I was also wondering whether I could change the names on the tickets to gift them.
I won't lose much cash if I cancel/move the booking, but finding new award availability looks likely to be a pain

When ANA cancelled one of my flights booked with VS I was moved to a flight the next day as they hadn't completely cancelled the route. Beyond that kind of auto-accommodation, you would need to find award space..

One my my flights I booked with Virgin Atlantic miles for a flight to Japan on ANA was cancelled.
It seems the award availability is not available on the day before or after the original flight. Does VS have the ability to request ANA open award space the way United would since they're in the same alliance, for example? I'm just wondering what my options are when I call.
Thanks.
