Double Miles to Be Offered for Both ANA Mileage Club and US Airways
Dividend Miles Members for Travel Flown by Nov. 30
ANA and US Airways (NYSE: LCC) customers will soon enjoy the convenience
of integrated reservations and connections thanks to a new codeshare
agreement slated to begin Sept. 16, pending both U.S. Department of
Transportation and Japanese government approval.
To celebrate the new agreement, US Airways and ANA will offer double
mileage to ANA Mileage Club (AMC) members traveling on all US
Airways-operated flights, both international and domestic, and to
Dividend Miles members traveling on all ANA-operated international and
domestic flights between Sept. 16 and Nov. 30.
US Airways will place its US flight code on ANA flights between Tokyo’s
Narita International Airport and Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago,
Washington, D.C. (IAD) and New York (JFK). ANA will place its NH flight
code on US Airways flights from the above airports to Charlotte, N.C.,
Philadelphia, Phoenix and Las Vegas.
Keisuke Okada, ANA’s Executive Vice President, Alliances and
International Affairs, said, “As Star Alliance members, we already give
our customers the advantage of collecting and using mileage on our
respective networks. With this new agreement in place they will also
have the convenience of using just one flight code for their connecting
journeys,” he continued.
US Airways Senior Vice President Marketing and Planning Andrew Nocella
said, “We’re pleased to expand our virtual network through flights
offered through ANA’s impressive network at Tokyo’s Narita International
Airport to more than 65 destinations in Japan and Asia. And integrated
reservations and connections for our customers mean simplified trip
planning and one-itinerary travel.”
