Can I still make a new ANA Star Alliance round-the-world award booking?

No, according to the ANA notice checked September 22, 2026. New Star Alliance Round the World Award Ticket issuance ended at the June 23, 2025 cutoff, expressed in Japan Standard Time. Do not use the surviving award chart as a current new-booking offer.

What this answer depends on

  • New ANA mileage round-the-world ticket issuance only; status checked 2026-09-22; not legacy-ticket servicing.
  • ANA’s page begins with a notice that new Star Alliance Round the World Award Tickets are no longer issued as of June 23, 2025, with dates in JST.
  • The notice distinguishes tickets issued through that cutoff from new purchases; retained itinerary rules concern that legacy product rather than permission to issue it now.
  • Star Alliance separately publishes a round-the-world planning and cash-fare booking route; its existence does not reopen ANA’s discontinued mileage product.
  • An old planning article may describe an attractive mileage price and a many-stop itinerary. The detailed rules can still look authoritative when copied from the surviving airline page. The first purchase question, however, is whether that product can still be issued—not whether an old routing fits its chart.
  • A telephone contact link left on a legacy rules page does not override its closure notice. A travel agent selling a paid alliance fare is offering a different product from the former ANA mileage ticket.

Important exceptions

  • This guide is only for new bookings. It does not interpret changes, expiry or other servicing rights for previously issued awards. No current alternative fare, mileage total or ticket availability has been verified.

What to do next

  1. Identify whether the guide you are reading describes ANA miles or a separately sold round-the-world fare. Do not equate the two because both mention Star Alliance.

  2. Read the product-status notice above any remaining chart or telephone instructions. Treat the new-issuance closure as the controlling information for a new purchase.

  3. For a new journey, research currently offered ticket products separately. Compare cash round-the-world fares or available individual awards without carrying over the retired product’s pricing or routing allowance.

  4. Obtain a complete current quote before transferring funds or miles. This article does not select an alternative or promise that your intended itinerary can be constructed.

  5. Prepare the intended journey, whether you planned to pay cash or ANA miles, and the dated source of the booking idea. Keep legacy-ticket questions separate from new purchase requests.

  6. Assistance can help price a currently offered alternative. Ask the seller to identify the current product by name and currency; do not request a workaround to a discontinued award.

Why does ANA still display an award chart?

The page retains legacy rules below its explicit new-issuance closure notice.

Did all Star Alliance round-the-world products end?

That conclusion does not follow. The separate alliance planning route must be evaluated as a different product.
