NH is using their TPAC 787 with staggered lie-flat J on the new NRT-SIN/BKK routes (NH845/807): read their press release here - https://www.ana.co.jp/wws/japan/e/lo...romotion/f_py/

It's a 3-class plane with C/PY/Y and 31" pitch and 3-3-3 in Y (i.e. this configuration: http://www.seatguru.com/airlines/ANA..._787-800_C.php). Not a fun 7 hours in Y.
