So to chime in here.


Have Lax-nrt-bkk-nrt-lax booked with the nrt-bkk-nrt on ANA. Booked through United with UA codeshare numbers.

Called United and recevied ANA conf.

Called (american) ANA and asked for window seat assignments. He assigned me 20A and 17A.

But here's what's not making sense. 20A he told me is the exit row. The flight is on a 788, which (according to seatguru) does not exist. There is a 21A that is an exit however. My united rez shows 20A. The phone agent also said that the flight is 3-3-3 (which I don't think it is?)

The way back is a 772, I got 17A. But from what I see, that's a premium economy seat (according to seatuguru again - the other version of the 772 would be a normal window seat). He said it was over the wing.

So what's going on? Does ANA use slightly modified layouts than what is on the ANA seatguru page?

EDIT: looks like seatguru is inaccurate. I made a dummy booking. For the ANA flight, it gives four configurations of the 788, and only one of them has 20A as an exit row - but it has no window! I'm gonna have to change.

The return flight doesn't have a premium economy.
