Japanese airline ANA has announced a new daily service from Vienna to Tokyo.
This will launch on 17th February. The timings are:
- NH206 Vienna 11:50 Tokyo Haneda 06:55 (next day)
- NH205 Tokyo Haneda 01:55 Vienna 06:00
Anika reviewed the ANA business class service from London to Tokyo and was impressed – see here.
You might not know that ANA is a Virgin Flying Club partner. Full details are on the Virgin Atlantic website here. I would imagine that there will be plenty of reward space on this new service, at least whilst it builds up demand, and it would not be a bad way of using your Virgin Flying Club miles.
A return Business Class flight from Europe to Japan on ANA is only 95,000 Virgin Flying Club miles – a steal compared to 180,000 peak day Avios! You can only book return flights on ANA using Virgin Flying Club miles.
