Which ANA seat is scheduled?

Route names are only a starting point. Match the exact flight to the cabin configuration before you move any points.

TARGET CABIN

THE Room

Boeing 777-300ER · new 212-seat configuration

ANA's extra-wide, door-equipped business suite. This is the product most travelers mean when they say they want to fly ANA's newest business class.

  • 64 Business Class seats
  • Business rows 5–20
  • ANA labels the flight “THE ROOM”
A 777-300ER label by itself is not enough—ANA also flies a legacy 777 configuration.Open ANA's THE Room seat map ↗
ALTERNATE CABIN

ANA Business Staggered

Legacy 777-300ER and current long-haul 787 configurations

A fully flat, direct-aisle seat, but not THE Room. It lacks the wide enclosed suite and closing privacy door people often expect from the newer cabin.

  • Legacy 777: 68 Business seats
  • Legacy 777: rows 5–21
  • No THE ROOM label on ANA
This is still a true long-haul Business Class seat; the distinction is the physical product, not the service class.Open ANA's Business Class product guide ↗
COMING NEXT

THE Room FX

Boeing 787-9 · new 206-seat configuration

A distinct new 787-9 version of THE Room. ANA now expects deliveries to begin in November 2026, and has not announced a launch route or date.

  • 206 total seats
  • 48 Business seats in rows 1–12
  • Routes are not announced
Do not book a 787 expecting THE Room FX until ANA identifies the exact flight and configuration.Open ANA's 787-9 seat map ↗

COMMON QUESTIONS

All Nippon Airways award booking FAQ

Can I transfer flexible points directly to ANA?＋

American Express Membership Rewards is the verified direct flexible-points path in this platform's reviewed U.S. catalog. Other rewards programs may still reach ANA through a booking program such as Aeroplan when that transfer relationship is verified.

Does every ANA Business Class award include THE Room?＋

No. THE Room is associated with specific ANA aircraft configurations, and ANA says aircraft and seat specifications can change without notice. Check the exact flight and seat map before transferring points.

How can I identify ANA THE Room on the seat map?＋

ANA's new 212-seat Boeing 777-300ER configuration has 64 Business Class seats in rows 5 through 20. ANA also labels eligible flights THE ROOM in its own booking flow. A 777-300ER aircraft label alone is not enough because ANA still operates a legacy configuration.

Is ANA THE Room FX flying yet?＋

Not in this reviewed route snapshot. ANA's August 2026 update says deliveries of the new 206-seat Boeing 787-9 will begin in November 2026, with the route and launch date still unannounced. Do not assume a 787 includes THE Room FX until ANA identifies the exact flight.

Should I transfer points before I find award space?＋

No. Transfers are generally final and availability can disappear. Find the flight, confirm that your chosen loyalty program can book it, and verify the complete points-and-cash price first.

How many transferable points do I need for ANA Business Class?＋

Use the Award Goal Planner with the exact live price, number of travelers, your selected booking-program balance, and flexible-points balance. It applies the reviewed transfer ratio, minimum, increment, and eligible public bonus without implying that award seats are available.
