ANA Business Staggered

50cm wide · 190cm bed · direct aisle access

8.0Elevated
All Nippon Airways ANA Business Staggered cabin on the 787-8

Thirty-two fully flat business class seats arranged in a staggered 1-2-1 pattern across nine rows. The staggered layout alternates between rows of four seats (1-2-1) and rows of three seats (1-1-1), with every seat angled to provide direct aisle access without disturbing a neighbour.

Spot it

  • Look for the 184-seat 787-8 configuration (32 business class, 14 premium economy, 138 economy)
  • Seats are angled/staggered — window seats do not align directly beside the aisle seats in the same row
  • If the center of the cabin shows an alternating pattern of paired center seats and single "throne" seats, this is the Staggered variant

All Nippon Airways ANA Business Cradle cabin on the 787-8

Forty-two business class seats in a 2-2-2 six-abreast configuration across seven rows. Seats feature a cradle-recline mechanism that reclines to approximately 160 degrees — angled but not fully flat.

Spot it

  • Six-abreast seating visible in the business cabin (pairs of seats left-center-right)
  • Distinguished from Business Staggered by the 6-abreast non-staggered arrangement and absence of the "throne" center seat pattern

Route shares are the share of All Nippon Airways's observed flying on a tracked route that is this cabin, resolved from flight history to individual registrations. They describe the routes we track, not All Nippon Airways's whole 787-8 fleet — a version we haven't measured would not appear here at all.
