nh lax-haneda then on to delhi via nrt
i have booked this in business class for november 2013 -with a us mileage award- i cannot find anything on the seats except it is now listed as a 777-200
to hanedaa and a 737 from nrt to bom. - 5 hour connecting time and it is on one PNR
can someone help with information about the seats on thse planes in business.
please. ?
will there be a change of aircraft to a more modern seat in 11 months time?
are these lie flat, with a horizontal footrest, and is IFE in english ?
i have heard wonderful things about NH and am anxioous to try them ,
but there seems to be little info about seating comfort on particular flights.
any help and info would be appreciated, as i have as an alternative the non stop ua flight from newark to mumbai , but i prefer an Asia based carrier due to the serviCe, and from los angeles, it is easier to get to asia with nH,- lack or weather issues in november to cause delays that can materialize on the us east coase

Also, it is very unlikely for NRT-BOM to switch from a 737 to a bigger plane, and if it switch, more than likely it would only switch to a 767, both 737 and 767 in C class have angle seats not ideal for sleeping, even much worse than the angle seats on 777-200ER for LAX-HND.

NH are operating a B767 from NRT-Delhi. It's a very tight connection if you're arriving on the NH flight from LAX.(55mins). I would avoid a 10 1/2hr flight on an NH 767 at all costs, especially on their business seats. Take the non-stop from EWR to Bombay and connect.

But then you have that horrible cross-airport transfer at BOM and an extra full body patdown at BOM as well. For some people that transfer, is worth than 10 hours on a 767.

It absolutely is IMHO. They have the cradle seats on the B767 which get very uncomfortable after a few hours let alone 10+.

True but the OP said he was going to New Delhi. The BBJ to BOM is not fun either. Took it once last year and we had to stop for more fuel.... It doesn't have the range to make this flight in the winter months.

Someone at a.net did a trip report on the BBJ service from NRT to Mumbai via Fukuoka. The aircraft looks very nice and the service is very good.

From LAX to HND, you can find trip reports here and November 2013 is quite away from now, and who knows what will happen to those NH Boeing 777-200 or 737BBJ service?
Just be mindful that it takes about a little bit more than an hour to travel from Haneda to Narita on the Airport limousine bus. Five hours sound about right!
