  • Complete itinerary including the flight numbers (We are unable to quote for non-ANA flights or NH codeshare flight numbers.)
  • Number of seats needed
  • Preferred base rate (budget per passenger) or competitor's base rate if any (Please advise the dollar amount.)

2. All information that is obtained will be forwarded to our Tokyo Headquarters office. If group space is available, the rate and commitment date (deadline to secure any seats with an advised rate) will be advised.

3. A group PNR will be created to secure the actual seats when we receive your request by the commitment date (A renegotiation will be required with the Tokyo Headquarters office if you fail to secure the seats by any given commitment date).
