Aloha Cinny. I'm at NRT now at the lounge on the same routing. Just came in on CX520 and departing soon on JO76. The equipment for today's JO76 is a JAL 744 version K61 (see seat map on seatexpert.com). It's the one where the upstairs is Y, no F and only five rows of J at the front of the main deck. I could not find the aircraft type either before I checked in, but I asked if there were any seats upstairs and they said upstairs was Y and I'm in J. So I guess if your travel agent or airline agent can see that the upstairs is Y then it's a version K61.
I booked through AA RTW so I haven't figured out how to find my seat map on JAL yet. Is there a way to pull up my reservation?
Thanks,
Cinnywoo
You can look it up on the JAL Japan Japanese website. Try to do a dummy booking. Or I can look it up for you if you give me your flight info. However, JAL has way too many 744 configs, equipment switch is possible between now and your flight.
Here are all the 744 configs, three of them have Y class on the upper deck.
Row 1-3 on JL736 on 1/7. Those are Sky Sleeper seats (old F seats). 2C 3HK are taken.
Most seats on JO74 on 1/8 are taken already. 1AC and 4E are blocked. I would pick those seats but you need status to do so (I like sitting at those nose of 744 and you don't have to climb over passengers to get out ). 3CK (744 nose) and 9E (bulkhead) are available for non-elites.
