The cabin temperature seems to be maintained very warm relative to most westerners' preferences, but it seems to be the preferred temperature for Japanese passengers.

I would recommend 2E. I'd avoid those seats on the aisle like the plague - not private and easy to be bumped.
Also, close to economy can get noisy with babies etc so i try and stay clear of the 2nd cabin.
I am not sure i have ever noticed a real difference in the size of the seats.
I fly this plane / flight often if you have any other questions..

- Which one do you think is best for tall people (long bed length)
- Does anyone know what is the standard bed length of the 787-9 business class seat?
- Out of the open options below, which are your top 3? (and order)

Anyone have any luck getting 5D opened up early on the mini cabin of the 77w? Traveling with my wife and kid. Wanted to give my wife 5A to sleep but worried 6E & G might be too loud for the kiddo. Currently have those 3 seats booked but would prefer doing 5A - D - F.

The seat layout from left to right for row 1 is A, aisle, H. These seats come with a table on the right. The seat layout from left to right for rows 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 is C, aisle, E, G, aisle, K. These seats come with a table on the left. The seat layout from left to right for rows 3, 5, 7, and 9 is A, aisle, D, F, aisle, H. These seats come with a table on the right.

I'd like to know whether Air Japan 787-10 business class seats are lie-flat. Can anyone with first-hand knowledge please share their experience? Thanks in advance!

If you are planning to sleep through meal services, you might get some noise, but with the layout of the 787 galley, that would be more for 1H than 1A.

If you are really sensitive about noise, just be aware that on some craft the doors of the cabinet right in front of 1A can rattle quite a bit during turbulence.
That's about the only concern i've had in 1A - very very rarely hear noise from the galley.

I'm likely to book my family of 4 in J on a NRT-ORD roundtrip this summer. Currently the flight shows Staggered seats on the 212-seat 77W. I'm thinking of trying for 5D, 5F, 6E, and 6G. I understand row 5 has bassinets for babies. (We don't need a bassinet.) Is there a possibility that ANA will kick us out of row 5 if another family requests a bassinet?
EDITED TO ADD: Never mind. I pulled up the seat map on the ANA app, and it looks like seats D and H are blocked in all the bulkhead rows, even though ExpertFlyer shows them as open. I guess ANA blocks those seats for people who need the bassinet. So my plan to monopolize the center section of the mini cabin is foiled...

After some further digging, I think this may only be an issue on the 77W. You can see the D/E gap I am talking about in this photo:
Last time I flew in a D seat on the 77W I was treated to all the movies and laptop Excel spreadsheets being viewed by the guy in the E seat in front of me. Totally kills the privacy aspect.

So I got the tickets for the ANA flights on the UA website with UA flight numbers (because UA still offers free changes while ANA does not). When I went to select seats, it let me choose 5D, 5F, 6E, and 6G. But 5D is a bassinet seat. So now I'm back to my original question: what is the chance that ANA will kick us out of 5D for someone who requests a bassinet?
