All Nippon Airways 787-8 ANA Business Staggered cabin
All Nippon Airways ANA Business Staggered · Boeing 787-8Config 788

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. Even-numbered rows feature a coveted center "throne" seat flanked by the footwells of adjacent rows, offering exceptional isolation. Odd-numbered rows pair two center seats alongside two window seats. Each seat converts to a fully flat bed. Amenities include a 17-inch touch-panel LCD monitor, a large sliding table, a personal reading lamp, shoe storage, under-ottoman storage, and USB plus PC power ports. A do-not-disturb indicator light is fitted at each seat.

Strategic Seating

Best Rows
  • Even-numbered rows: center "throne" seat (row 2, 4, 6, 8) offers exceptional solo privacy with footwells on both sides
  • Window seats (A, K) in odd rows provide the best separation from the aisle
Rows to Avoid
  • Row 9 (last row) may have reduced recline or proximity to galley depending on cabin partition

How to book this cabin

Airlines may change equipment at any time. To ensure you get the 787-8 (788), always check the seat map during and after booking.

Look for these hints:

  • Look for "787-8" or "788"
  • 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
  • Distinguished from the Business Cradle variant, which has 6-abreast seating (42 J seats in 7 rows)
