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.

NRT-SIN is getting F, which means a 777 not a 787 which does not have a F cabin.

NRT-BKK appears to be getting the TPAC configuration from the press release which is an upgrade for business, but a butt-numbing experience in coach with barely 17" wide seats. Not fun for even a short 3 hr hop, let alone something longer.
