i’d like to know about the best economy seats when flying with ANA from FRA to HND
100% The Alviator
ANA’s economy class on the route from Frankfurt (FRA) to Tokyo Haneda (HND) typically operates on a 787-8 aircraft, which features a 3-3-3 economy configuration with 198 seats. While no specific seat is highlighted as the absolute best in the provided sources, certain seat positions are generally preferred for comfort and convenience.
Preferred Seat Positions
- The rear bulkhead seats in the 102-seat rear economy section offer generous legroom and are ideal for travelers seeking extra space.
- The last true window seat in the rear section is a strong choice, as it avoids recline interference and provides a clear view.🔗
- Seats near the back with a “duo” configuration (window and middle seats only) are also favorable, though these are often booked early.
Key Features of ANA 787 Economy Class
- Seat pitch is 31 inches, which is tighter than long-haul 787s but acceptable for short-haul flights.
- Each seat includes a headrest with adjustable support and a footrest net designed for feet, which requires removing shoes for full use.🔗
- Power ports are shared between seats and were functional on recent flights.🔗
- A dedicated seat pocket for small items like phones is included, which is a practical touch.🔗
For the best experience, consider reserving a seat near the back, ideally a window or middle seat in the rear bulkhead, to maximize legroom and minimize disruption from others.

Review: ANA 787 Economy Class (GMP-HND)
Review Overview| THE ALVIATOR'S VERDICT Probably not the most over-the-top economy class experience out there, though you'll get a hot meal with a wide range of drinks available, a decent seat with good storage and footrest, and (uncompetitively priced, though functional) WiFi on regional ANA flights | 4.5 || In March 2026, I flew ANA’s 787 economy class from Seoul Gimpo to Haneda Airport. This was the first segment of a two-leg journey from Seoul Gimpo to London Heathrow Airport – I booked this itinerary specifically because there was a cheaper fare for ANA premium economy if flying out

BOOKED: ANA Premium Economy, Air New Zealand Premium Economy, And More!
I’ve booked a review trip that’s happening approximately a month from today. While I booked this trip a while ago and was going to share it closer to the time (this is happening in early March), I’m struggling to contain my excitement about this review trip, so thought I’d jump the gun and share it a bit earlier. J and I are going to Sydney in March to attend a friend’s wedding. I’m excited for the wedding, and also to spend time with her and her family in Australia. However, I’m also excited about the prospect of going back

ANA’s 777 Premium Economy: Surprisingly Average
To conclude my review trip across the world, I flew ANA’s 777 premium economy from Tokyo to London, a 14h 40m flight. Japan Airlines and ANA are both powerhouses in the airline industry, and I wanted to try the newest premium economy cabins they had on offer. I flew Japan Airlines’ A350 premium economy in January, and wanted to see how ANA compared. My ANA flight was good, though I feel like there was a clear winner. In fact, based on my experience with ANA, I’d consider their premium economy a notch below the best – definitely below Qantas
