Best business class seats on ANA 777 business class for wife and I? I chose row 6 in the mini cabin. It's close to galley though.

My AC flight from YUL-TLV-YUL in J was just swapped from a A330 to a B787-9.  ;D ;D ;D
From mid September to mid October, flight will be operated by the 789 instead of the a330.
I wan't aware of this when I booked, so it was a nice surprise....

You'll skip security lines. But still have to be checked in 45 minutes prior IINM

Varies by airline/airport.

I think he was talking about AA flagship. Def don't try to check in a bag 30m before in general. Even if they check the bag they'll probably mark it as late and not protect it.

Is the actual seat different, or just the direction it's facing?

B6 flies to SFO too.

Try and get a "Suite" seat if possible.
