Deep review

## What flying ANA The Room is actually like

### The Room cabin (777-300ER)

The Room is a 1-2-1 lie-flat configuration with a closing door per suite. The headline feature: at 38 inches wide, it is the widest Business Class seat in the world. Bed length is 78 inches. The seat shell is generous enough to feel closer to First Class on legacy carriers than typical Business. Each suite features 24-inch entertainment screen, Bose noise-cancelling headphones, wireless charging, ample storage. The cabin design is refined Japanese aesthetic, dark wood, ambient lighting.

### The older 787 Cradle Seat

ANA also operates 787-9 and 787-8 on some US-Tokyo routes (typically secondary frequencies). These aircraft have the older ANA Cradle Seat Business Class (1-2-1 lie-flat but tighter footprint, no closing door). Still a solid Business Class product but not at the level of The Room. Verify aircraft on every quote, the same route can have either aircraft on different days.

### The Japanese catering

ANA Business Class catering features both Western multi-course and traditional Japanese kaiseki menus. The Japanese meal program is excellent, real Japanese cuisine with seasonal ingredients, properly prepared rice, miso soup, sashimi. Pre-departure Champagne. Wine list curated by Japanese sommeliers. For travelers who appreciate Japanese cuisine, the catering alone justifies flying ANA.

### The ANA Lounge at Tokyo Haneda

The refurbished (2020) ANA Lounge at HND International Terminal features: live noodle station with ANA-branded ramen, made-to-order tempura, full Japanese soft product, quiet zone, sleeping rooms, shower facilities, runway views. Open to ANA Business + Star Alliance Gold. The ANA Suite Lounge (for First Class + ultra-high-tier elites) is one of the best airline lounges globally.

## Frequently asked

### Is ANA The Room the best Business Class on transpacific?

Among the top 3, alongside Qatar Qsuite and Singapore 2017 Business. ANA The Room (debuting 2019 on the 777-300ER) is the widest Business Class seat in the world at 38 inches, with a 1-2-1 layout and full lie-flat. The cabin feels closer to First Class on legacy carriers than typical Business. For raw spaciousness on transpacific, ANA The Room is genuinely the headline product.

### Which ANA aircraft has The Room cabin?

In 2026, The Room is on the Boeing 777-300ER fleet, ANA's flagship long-haul aircraft for most US-Tokyo routes (JFK, EWR, LAX, ORD, HND, SFO, SEA, IAD). The older 787-9 and 787-8 fleet has the previous-generation ANA Business Cradle Seat (still solid lie-flat but smaller). For The Room specifically, you want the 777-300ER. Verify aircraft on every quote.

### How does ANA The Room compare to JAL Sky Suite?

ANA The Room is larger and more spacious (38" wide vs JAL's tighter footprint). For raw cabin headline, ANA wins. JAL has slightly more storage, arguably better service consistency, and a more comprehensive Japanese-meal program. ANA wins on hard product and window-seat experience; JAL wins on traditional Japanese hospitality. Both are top-10 transpacific Business products. For first-time travelers we typically recommend ANA; for repeat travelers, JAL has a slight service edge.

### Which US routes does ANA fly Business Class to from the US?

In 2026, ANA operates non-stop Business Class to Tokyo (HND or NRT) from: JFK (daily), EWR (daily), LAX (daily), SFO (daily), ORD (daily), IAD (daily), SEA (daily), HOU (seasonal). All routes feature the 777-300ER The Room cabin. From Tokyo, onward Star Alliance Business Class to all major Asian cities.

### Is the ANA Lounge at Tokyo good?

Yes, excellent. The ANA Lounge at Tokyo Haneda (HND) International Terminal (refurbished 2020) features live noodle station (ANA ramen), made-to-order tempura, full Japanese-style soft product, quiet zone, sleeping rooms, shower facilities, and runway views. The ANA Suite Lounge (First Class) at HND is comparable to JAL First Class Lounge in quality. Open to ANA Business Class + Star Alliance Gold members.

### How much does ANA Business Class cost?

Published Business Class on West Coast → Tokyo round-trip typically runs $5,800 – $7,800 in peak season, $4,800 – $6,500 off-peak. Through a contracted consolidator, LAX-Tokyo ANA Business round-trip is regularly $3,500 – $4,300 in shoulder season. East Coast routes (JFK, EWR, IAD, ORD) run $400-700 higher.

### Can I use Star Alliance miles for ANA The Room?

Yes, this is one of the best uses of Star Alliance miles. ANA Mileage Club is the cheapest currency for ANA Business at ~75,000-90,000 miles + ~$50-150 in taxes one-way (very low surcharges on ANA metal). Transferable from Amex MR (1:1). United MileagePlus also works at ~80,000-95,000 miles. Aeroplan is the best-value Star Alliance partner. Saver inventory is genuinely strong 6-11 months ahead.
