The business seats are the same that are found on the rest of ANAs long-haul aircraft, featuring full flatbed seats with direct aisle access, 18 inch touch displays, a main and side table and AC/USB power outlets.

However for the 787-10, new premium economy and economy seats have been installed.

Premium economy seats are kitted out with the latest entertainment options presented on 15.6 inch touch displays. Amble room and head/leg rests are also present, as well as adequate storage space for small items.

Economy class was designed to be comfortable and lightweight, using advanced materials to develop a seat that offers 34 inches of pitch, a 13.3 inch touch display and a six-way adjustable headrest, as found in premium economy. It is worth noting the first row of the economy section only has access to an 11.6 inch display.

The entertainment displays, although varying in sizes across each class of the aircraft, offer a new selection of features that have proven popular among passengers around the world.

Eleven languages are now supported for those that require the greater options, and a 3D flight path is also accessible, pinpointing the flight route, but also highly reviewed tourist locations around the world.
