ANA 763 J or TG J? BKK-TYO
I am looking to book a BKK-TYO flight. It looks like the ANA seats are pretty lousy on the 763, especially for a 6+ hour flight. Would you choose the ANA cradle seats or take your chances with whatever Royal Silk product TG chooses to "TG" you with on that day?

The NH 767 seats are fine for a day flight, IMO, but if you're overnighting the TG 777 red-eye to NRT is slightly better (though I'm not a fan of slanted lie-flat seats). Not sure about the BKK-NRT TG A320 flight, though.

If you could get either the 77W fully-flat or 77E/744 slanted-flat bed seats, then TG would be far preferable to the NH seat. Especially when you get a nice 30-minute massage before boarding the flight.
However, if there is any chance of getting the hideous 747 cradle seat on TG, then I believe the NH J seat is marginally more comfortable.
Personally, I would go for the TG option and take my chances.. After all, out of 4 possible aircraft/seat type combinations on TG, only one is inferior to NH.

Service and food so much better than TG ! Okay the seats aren't the best on NH but a shortish flight from NRT to HKG earlier this month just wow'd me!

Plus, after a massage at the Royal Orchid Spa, you'll be drifting to the flight to NRT ready to close your eyes as soon as the seatbelt sign is turned off. I experienced this on a night flight ex-BKK before... and it was very good!

sometimes ANA uses the newest 767 in NRT-BKK or HND-BKK
(because the aircraft change to BKK,Taipei Sungshan is no longer use the new ones,)
but I am interesting the TPE-NRT aircraft changes or not in W11
the A320(20C90Y) in Y is a nightmare,IFE is very poor.

I too would say TG would definitely be better than NH C; I would take my chances with TG and think the 744 in old config, whilst still possible, is less than likely.
