CABIN PRODUCT FINDER

Is this ANA THE Suite?

Both ANA 777 layouts have eight First seats in rows 1 and 2. Use the Business and Economy counts to separate the door-equipped THE Suite from the older ANA FIRST SQUARE.

TARGET CABIN

ANA THE Suite

Boeing 777-300ER · new 212-seat configuration

ANA's newest 777 First Class has eight enclosed suites with doors, fully flat beds, and 43-inch 4K screens. The aircraft pairs them with THE Room Business Class.

  • 8 First seats in rows 1–2
  • 64 Business seats in rows 5–20
  • 24 Premium Economy seats
  • 116 Economy seats
  • THE SUITE and THE ROOM labels on ANA
Do not stop after counting eight First seats. The older 212-seat 777 also has eight First seats; only the 64-seat Business cabin ending at row 20 confirms this configuration.Open ANA's THE Suite guide ↗
LEGACY CABIN

ANA FIRST SQUARE

Boeing 777-300ER · legacy 212-seat configuration

ANA FIRST SQUARE also has eight First seats in two rows, but its high-walled shell has no closing door and its screen is smaller. The rest of the aircraft has 68 Business and 112 Economy seats.

  • 8 First seats in rows 1–2
  • 68 Business seats in rows 5–21
  • 24 Premium Economy seats
  • 112 Economy seats
  • No closing First Class door
This is still ANA First Class, but it is not THE Suite. A seat map with Business extending through row 21 resolves to FIRST SQUARE even when the aircraft is listed as a 777-300ER.Compare ANA's 777 First Class seats ↗

Summer 2026 THE Suite snapshot

New York is the only reviewed U.S. gateway where every listed 777 frequency is scheduled with the new cabin. Chicago and San Francisco are mixed by date, and ANA can still swap aircraft.

HOW TO FIND IT

Find ANA partner First space first, then call Flying Club to confirm the exact flight. Virgin access can differ from ANA's own program and has experienced intermittent close-in gaps.

FEES & SURCHARGES

Taxes, fees, and ANA carrier-imposed surcharges are additional. The surcharge changes by ticketing date and point of origin, so have the agent quote the complete cash total.

Do this in order

HOW TO FIND IT

Search ANA's international flight awards for the exact flight. ANA can expose inventory or waitlisting that partners do not, but a paid First seat does not guarantee a mileage seat.

FEES & SURCHARGES

ANA fuel and insurance surcharges apply to Mileage Club awards and can be substantial. They are revised by ticketing period and origin; use ANA's current surcharge table and checkout quote.

COMMON QUESTIONS

All Nippon Airways award booking FAQ

Which U.S. route consistently has ANA THE Suite?＋

For summer 2026, both daily New York–Tokyo Haneda pairs—NH109/110 and NH159/160—are scheduled with the new 777 cabin. Confirm the 8F/64J/24W/116Y seat map because aircraft changes remain possible.

Can I find ANA THE Suite from Chicago or San Francisco?＋

Yes, but the reviewed Chicago and San Francisco 777 routes mix new and legacy cabins by date. There is no dependable weekday shortcut: confirm Business ends at row 20 with 64 seats on the exact flight.

Why does an eight-seat First cabin not confirm ANA THE Suite?＋

Both ANA 777 configurations have eight First seats in rows 1 and 2. THE Suite is on the 8F/64J/24W/116Y aircraft; the 8F/68J/24W/112Y aircraft has the older ANA FIRST SQUARE.

Is ANA's A380 First Class the same as THE Suite?＋

No. ANA's Honolulu A380 has a separate First product. THE Suite is the new-cabin Boeing 777-300ER product paired with the 64-seat THE Room Business cabin.

Should I transfer points when ANA sells a First Class seat for cash?＋

No. Paid inventory is not award inventory, and partners can see less space than ANA Mileage Club. Confirm the exact award, seat map, mileage, and cash charges in the program you will use before transferring.

How many transferable points do I need for ANA THE Suite?＋

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.
