ANA Business Class review

Generally yes. ANA has held the Skytrax 5-Star rating for 13 straight years, and its new 787 seat, The Room FX, won a 2026 Crystal Cabin Award. The product depends on the plane: The Room, with a door, is on 10 of ANA's 13 777-300ERs, while most 787s (LAX, IAD, SEA, IAH) have the older, open Business Staggered seat, which is fully flat with direct aisle access.

The Room (styled THE Room by ANA) is the 777-300ER Business Class suite introduced in 2019. It has 64 seats in a 1-2-1 layout that alternates forward- and rear-facing rows, with a sliding door, direct aisle access, a fully flat bed and a 24-inch 4K screen. Its 787-9 successor, The Room FX, starts delivery from November 2026.

Only on The Room (the new 777-300ER configuration) and The Room FX (new 787-9s, delivered from November 2026). ANA Business Staggered, on most 787s and three older 777-300ERs, has no door, though every seat is fully flat with direct aisle access.

The Room is on 10 of ANA's 13 Boeing 777-300ERs. The other three 777-300ERs and the 787-8/787-9 fleet used on US routes have Business Staggered, a fully flat seat with direct aisle access but no door. Among US routes, only New York JFK is all The Room; Chicago and San Francisco alternate new and older 777s. Confirm the aircraft for your date on every quote.

ANA flies nonstop to Tokyo from New York JFK (Haneda, 2 daily, 777-300ER with The Room), Chicago and San Francisco (Haneda and Narita, 777-300ER, alternating The Room and the older seat), Los Angeles (Haneda 2 daily plus Narita, 787s), Washington Dulles (Haneda, 787-8), Seattle (Haneda, 787-9) and Houston IAH (Haneda, 787-9). ANA does not fly from Newark.

Both are Skytrax 5-Star Japanese carriers, so the choice usually comes down to the aircraft on your date. ANA's The Room on the 777-300ER has a door, as does JAL's newest A350-1000 suite, and both airlines also fly older seats without doors on some routes. Japanese and Western menus are offered on both. We price the two side by side on the same route.

Yes. The ANA Lounge at Haneda (Terminal 3 and Terminal 2 international) and Narita is open to Business Class passengers on ANA or Star Alliance flights and to Star Alliance Gold members plus one guest. It has a buffet, a noodle bar serving pork-broth ramen, sake and shochu, and showers you can book in the ANA app. The ANA Suite Lounge is for First Class and top-tier members, and Narita has an arrival lounge with showers.
