New options have been added to the international in-flight meal pre-order service where you can choose your desired meal in advance up to 24 hours before the departure time of your flight, starting from March 2023. Responding to voices wanting to quickly finish their meals on board or wanting to rest leisurely, we are offering the "Quick & Light Meal" and "No Thank you Option". We propose options to make your time on board more comfortable and relaxing, reduce inflight food waste, and work together with customers to reduce food loss.

Although the handling of domestic automatic check-in machines was planned to be discontinued, considering the current usage by customers, a new simple and easy-to-use check-in machine equipped with some functions of the current domestic automatic check-in machines (check-in, seat change, mileage registration, receipt issuance) will be introduced around autumn 2025. It is planned to be installed in the departure lobby, as well as in some ANA lounges and gate counters at certain airports. For the functions that were provided by the existing domestic automatic check-in machines but will be discontinued, you can continue to carry out procedures through the ANA website or ANA app. Additionally, starting from January 2024, the boarding certificate and receipt display service, previously available only on the ANA website, will also be available on the ANA app.
