To answer some of the questions in this thread, Regarding why 1C and 1H on the Skysleeper Solo seats are green:

Pros:
- No seat in front of you, most private
- Least amount of cabin traffic as galley and lavatory is in the back
- Reports indicating that the feet is not constricted in the semi foot-well area
- Closest for traveling companions, yet still apart for individual passengers
- Served first during meals

Cons:
- No overhead bin until further back
- Last F passenger off the plane, more of a problem if L2 is used
- A bit away from the windows for a good view, row 2 and 4 better in this respect, and some reports preferring the "window" seats vs the "aisle" seats since the seat is a bit further away from the aisle traffic.
- Lack of overhead air vents - although this is actually for the whole plane
- Forward storage closet being accessed (this could be comments from other JAL 744 configuration)

5G is one of our least favorite seat, no window, and you get traffic on both sides, as well as behind you. The only benefit is that you feet are less restricted as reported to us.
