All Nippon Airways (ANA) launches limited sales of "Premium Pass 300" on July 1; Up to 300 domestic flights in "Premium Class" for a year

All Nippon Airways (ANA) has begun a limited launch of "Premium Pass 300," which allows up to 300 domestic flights for a year in ANA's "Premium Class," a class that proudly offers a high level of hospitality.

Business people who have to make frequent business trips back and forth across Japan will want to have the Premium Pass. Privileges for members include various services such as toll-free exclusive numbers for making reservations, priority handling for booking or wait-listing at the airport, special advance booking that allows reservations to be made 14 days before the ordinary booking period (which is two months prior to the flight) and priority reservations of seats at the front of the aircraft when premium class seats are not available.

In addition, check-in counters and security gates for the exclusive use of members will be available at some airports. Luggage that members check-in will carry priority tags so that they can collect their bags upon arrival with priority. While waiting for boarding, members can relax in the lounge.

The Premium Pass will go on sale from July 1, 2009 until September 30, 2009. Members can travel up to 300 times during the period between September 1, 2009 and August 31, 2010. Upon reaching 300 flights, the pass becomes invalid and cannot be used for travel on and after the following day, even within the boarding period. Only a limited number of 300 passes will be available on a first come, first served basis for the price of 3 million yen (only one individual per pass).
