UA787 vs NH787 or 777 in Y
I am looking at booking LAX-NRT/HND as part of trip and deciding between UA 787 and NH 787 or 777 in Y. Seat guru has 32" pitch in Y, while NH looks to have 31" but a few variants at 32 - 34". Looking purely at regular Y, would like to hear from anyone who has experience on each type. I am 6'5" so legroom matters most.
Thanks
Thanks

If you're that tall I'd pay the little extra for UA E+ and sit there.
If you're not willing to pay the E+ fee then NH787. NH772/77W are tight in Y on the few planes I have been on. UA regular economy is also horrible. If you're on an NH77W you might get lucky with a bump to their Premium Economy with your *G status, but you can't count on it.

I couldn't imagine being 6'5" and trying to sit in Economy on that plane.
