However, I did not compare seat pitch between the two in Y to see if one is better than the other. Certainly Economy Plus on UA is bound to have more pitch than Y on ANA.
# of C seats isn't really the right comparison - it's the density, and NH alternates between 1-1-1 and 1-2-1. So IMO that would automatically make for a less claustrophobic feeling than 2-2-2.
