I did not want to relinquish NH174 and just to be in waitlist limbo, and they were receptive. It took around 40 minutes to get a call back saying that they could "adjust" the quota of award space available and give me NH114. Mind you, this was Japanese business hours and done over the phone in Japanese, maybe that helped. I also told them I'd be out 120,000 yen on a non-refundable connecting flight if they refused.
As a DP, I had JFK-HND in F and return NRT - JFK in J which got cancelled and they were able to find my J space on HND-JFK return. Now here's to hoping Japan will open up a bit more to tourists!

Wanted to ask if I'm reading this wrong, as I've booked the below ticket, but in the article, it says "NH 843/842" (btwn Haneda and Singapore) as suspended, as well as "NH 112/111" (btwn Chicago and Haneda) .. how is this possible? Or does the yellow highlight mean it was suspended, but now an option? This is for Nov 2022 travel.

Yellow highlight means the schedule changed.

Nope, this was my fault, I misread the column headers, and then panicked, as I 100% don't want to be on the United ORD - HND flight ... even in Polaris, after regularly flying QSuites + SQ J class. ANA is lovely but I'm not game for a swap over to UA, which I thought I was at risk of, given ORD's hub status for the airline. Appreciate your support though!

I've been searching on ANA's site on JFK-TYO (even JFK--TYO--KUL) route/s for the past couple months for travel next summer (June to Aug) for 1F or 1J's and couldn't see awards space. Is this due to the pandemic or I'm just late in seeing any awards space before they got snatched up? Ideally I'm looking for 1F and 2J's--does ANA even open up that many awards space on same flight for these routes (looking to try The Room & The Suite)? I'm happy to hear ORD will be getting The Room & The Suite by end of next month as that would give me more options. Any feed backs would be appreciated!

Summer is peak travel season, and there’s the pandemic as well. Even before the border easing was announced recently, as a Diamond member I would only see availability for single segments a few hours after they were released. People snatch them up pretty quickly. And with mileage expiration extended, there are more miles floating around.
For award tickets, you need to make sure every single segment is available. On top of that, KUL doesn’t have F, so you would be looking for 3J on that segment, which unless you are Diamond (maybe Platinum) you wouldn’t ever have access to.

So that’s if you try to book on opening. Otherwise you’re hoping that at some point everyone who booked an award on that day cancels (twice).
There’s slightly more availability on certain days (Thursday and Tuesday I think they release an extra 1 or 2 J). But it’s really an uphill battle.

What I don't understand is that the only 2 routes First Class is being sold on seem to be JFK and ORD. Even though ANA announced their new The Room/The Suite products on certain LAX-HND flights, First Class is not available for sale beyond 30 October on this route.
