how to maximize the J experience:
walk back thru Y towards the end of the flight. Look at the poor* souls suffering 30 inch seat pitch, long lines for dirty lavs, eating their banana bread or month old individually shrink wrapped bread rolls.
*"poor" can also mean thrify or financially independent geniuses who realize being crammed in one place for 13 hours to save a couple thousand bucks will pay for lots of hotel rooms and meals on the ground.

Try to avoid row 1 as that will have a lot of galley noise, light and people heading to the washrooms. The 787 thread will give you all the seat info you want. the config is 4 seats to a row with all seats having aisle access and the middle two do not have windows (duh!).
There is a new signature cocktail if you want to try it.
The meals are hit and miss. So pick what you like and hope for the best. There is also a dine anytime snack choice that others have mentioned above - I used to like the dimsum but last flight was not so good. BBQ chicken skewer is ok.
For drinks there is a selection of wines, JW Black, and a few other drinks.
Also a cheese/fruit plate and desserts after the main meal along with liquers like Baileys/Grand Marnier.
There will be a snack basket kept near the galley which will have chips and chocolate.
Noise cancelling headphones are provided but you can also use your own.
