I see so they do not offer the upgrade for the international cabin?
It was a 4 class plane and there were pax scattered around J Y+ and Y cabins.
There were at most 25 pax on the plane so it was still very comfy for me in seat 45A (Exit row) but the whole 90 mins I was on the plane I kept thinking about that F seat and what an idiot I was for not inquiring about the upgrade! haha
The cabin looks great though I must say

But they usually wouldn't just let anyone sit there. You need to have some kind of status or connecting to international F in general to sit in the F cabin with Class J ticket.

Because of Duration seats are less important IMHO. You get lounge access, priority check-in a decent but small meal, champagne etc. Definitely worth 7000-8000 JPY upgrade over Y

unless you do HND-OKA then the seat also matters. at that time it's a no brainer if you're a true FTer of travelling in style. (I, otoh, believes in FOP/miles return on investment. class J is good cuz you get 10% extra return on 10% extra payment. for F you get 50% return for 80% investment - unless you start drinking like a madman :P)

I wonder what about those who were in Y+ then? Upgrades due to status?

I see, so I shouldn't have requested for an exit row then lol.
How does one know whether the domestic flight is going to be upgaged to a 773? Is there a way to find out in advance - perhaps checking expert flyer?
I'm guessing they are not permanently plying those routes

That's interesting. Since sitting in that F seat for a brief moment I read up that they serve Salon!
