ANA has begun reciprocal frequent flyer program agreements with Star Alliance regional member carriers. The first carrier to tie its mileage program with ANA’s Mileage Club was Finland’s Blue 1. Other regional members, Adria Airways of Slovenia and Croatia Airlines of Croatia, will tie up with ANA beginning May 9.

In terms of customer benefits, regional members offer the same advantages as other Star Alliance member carriers — including lounge access and expedited check-in, as well as other frequent flyer benefits.
