ANA Lounge and ANA Suite Lounge

What the Mileage Club terms cover

The ANA Mileage Club terms apply to flights taken on or after 19 May 2026 [3]. They define three premium service levels — Diamond Service, Platinum Service and Bronze Service — alongside a separate SUPER FLYERS membership, and they treat the alliance designation a member holds as a consequence of those categories rather than as a status granted separately [3]. The terms are governed by Japanese law and provide that the Japanese text prevails where a translation is ambiguous or contradictory [3].

Guidance covers award redemption conditions and pooling of family miles [4], upgrade awards on ANA domestic flights, ANA international flights and Star Alliance services [5], and registration of award users other than the member [6].

Status categories and alliance designations

Within the terms, Star Alliance Gold membership is the designation given to frequent flyers of Star Alliance carriers who meet prescribed conditions and, for ANA Mileage Club, to members who satisfy the conditions for Diamond Service, Platinum Service or SUPER FLYERS [3]. Star Alliance Silver membership is tied to the Bronze Service category [3].

The terms describe one specific use of those designations: ANA provides Star Alliance carriers with the name, membership number and status of Star Alliance Gold and Silver members so that those carriers can offer benefits to them [3]. The terms do not itemise those benefits, and they do not mention lounge entry, guest allowances or any difference between one lounge product and another, whether at ANA or at a partner carrier [3].

Access and guest rules the sources do not publish

Travellers comparing the two products usually want the rules that separate them.

• Cabin versus status.
• Star Alliance Gold.
• Guests.

Because none of that is stated, this page does not estimate it. Readers who need a working answer should treat the checklist and alliance explainers linked below as orientation, and confirm eligibility with ANA before travelling [3].

Exceptions and limits

• Scope of the terms. The status rules described above belong to ANA Mileage Club and to the flight dates the terms cover; they are not a statement about the lounge rules of any other programme [3].
• Partner-run services. Where a benefit is delivered by a partner airline or partner company, the partner's own conditions of use apply, and ANA states that it does not guarantee the fitness for purpose, currency or accuracy of goods and services provided by partners [3].
• Translation. The terms provide that the Japanese text prevails if a translated version is ambiguous or inconsistent with it, so wording in another language is not the controlling text [3].
• Lapsed membership. ANA reserves the right to cancel a membership where no miles have actually been accrued for three consecutive years; the terms do not say what a cancellation does to any lounge entitlement [3].
• Duration of a designation. The terms state no period for which a status designation, or any benefit attached to it, lasts [3].
• Lounge access within Japan.
