ANA has confirmed the first six routes to get its new Premium Economy seats.

The routes and start dates for the new seats are:

• Tokyo Narita – New York JFK  from 29/08/2012
• Tokyo Narita – London Heathrow from 14/09/2012
• Tokyo Narita – Frankfurt  from 30/09/2012

The seats themselves look rather tasty for a Premimum Economy Seat

So what’s the benifits of Premium Economy on ANA?

• Own mini-cabin
• Seat pitch at 38″
• Configured in 2-4-2 layout, with 19.3″ seat width
• Seat configured with foot-rests and leg-rests as well as larger head-rests
• The classic PE Cocktail table
• Front row configured with 12.6 fixed IFE screens, all other PE Rows have 10.6 seat integrated IFE screens, with Apple “Dock” connectivity (for iPhones, iPods, iPod Touches and possibly iPads).
• Power at seat and USB Ports too.

It looks a nice product – and considering it’s ANA, I’d expect it to be delivered very well.

Booking on the new seats opens tomorrow (21st June 2012)
