Where to sit on ANA 787?
I'm looking at biz class seats from NRT>SEA next year. Looks like my target flight should be on the 787 with the nice lie-flat seats in C. I'll be traveling with my spouse. Which seats are best for a couple? The two together in the middle (D+G) or window plus center? How are the two seats together for communication, space?
Thanks!
Thanks!

They are wonderful seats - just not if you want to share with your partner or attend to young children. They really are business seats. I'm sure you'll have a great flight though - enjoy!

But for a pair, C/F or F/H are probably best though I seem to remember middle rows being not entirely aligned with the seats in the same row window sides - maybe best explained by pictures

Which seat on 787? Flying SEA-NRT next monday. Right now I have a right side window with the table to my right...seems annoying. There are no window seats with the table on the aisle side available. I was thinking about moving to one of the single middle seats with tables on both sides.

I am looking at possibly flying ORD-NRT (NH11) and NRT-ORD (NH12) in September 2013. In looking at the Master Thread, it indicates that NRT-ORD will intermittently be served with the new IOJ interior starting yesterday (31 Oct 2012), but has NH announced other specifics about the NRT-ORD route?

Sadly, no. It will depend a lot on when they can finish refitting the other 77W they need for this route. I wouldn't expect to hear anything until early next year -- that being said, I would imagine they would have all aircraft on NH11/12 using the IOJ configuration by September 2013.

If the NH site shows either flight as being operated by a 77W, it has the IOJ cabin. But if you had checked the Master Thread, you would know that these flights are not operated by a 77W every day -- only intermittently.

ANA SKY WEB indicates 77W on that date.

Just to confirm ALL ANA 77Ws have IOJ cabins? I have a flight on hold and want to have the New First Square seating. The seat map on EF for NH 1009 indicates the following:

All aircraft denoted as "77W" should have the IOJ configuration; non-IOJ aircraft are denoted "773". Can you let us know what date/flight for which you're seeing this discrepancy? It could be that NH has not updated the seat map for that particular flight yet.
