6. What's up with all this chatter about hot cabins?
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 finally experienced these seats recently, flying NRT->PVG->NRT. Apparently the later two legs each day fly the new configuration, while the earlier flights (which I generally was taking) have the old J.
What confounds me though is why they are choosing to fly these newly configured seats on a short route like that instead of the much longer route to BKK. From what I was able to surmise from the FA, with out somewhat limited ability to communicate due to my lack of Japanese, they are targeting afternoon and evening flights, presumably due to a stronger desire to sleep, rather than morning flights. I generally fly the morning NRT to BKK and back, thus perhaps that is why I haven't seen the new seats on that route.
What I am interested in understanding further is the timeframe for a full refit of existing birds flying these intra Asia routes..

Now, anyone who knows BKK knows that when the flight is around 8am, you can guarantee that a lot of folks (myself included) will be passed out sleeping despite that the flight departs in the morning.

Does anyone know which seats the 222seat version of the 787 on the HND-PEK route has in C? It appears from the seat map that they could be either the old lie-flats (ala 772ER) or cradle seats (ala 767 etc.) but I cannot find any info that confirms either?
EDIT: Just found the answer to my own question here. Appears to be the cradle seat on the new 767ER aircraft. Great seat for the 3hr trip from PEK

I am looking for SEA-NRT seats in November or December 2013 on a weekend (Sunday). This post says:
ANA website says "777", so not sure it's really IOJ layout? Also, if I book J using Aeroplan miles, will I be really able to select F seat? (F sold as C)?
Any advice?

NRT-SEA (weekends only from 12JAN13; F sold as C, PY sold as Y)

JA777A is currently at NRT until 2/10 for reconfiguration into the new config (IOJ F/C/PY/Y). It will probably be deployed on either the ORD or JFK route to bring it to 100% operation by IOJ-outfitted aircraft (barring something unusual due to the 787 grounding).

Looking to fly on the 777-300ER and I would love to have this seat configuration with the large area next to the closet. Can anyone confirm if this is seat 5A or 5H and 7A or 7H (or some other seat)?
Also, I noticed that there is only 5A and 7A open for seat assignment on multiple test bookings (a year in advance), while the rest of the cabin is empty. Is it blocked for are the other 5/7 seats blocked for infants/bassinets?
Thanks in advance.

No, as the caption stated this must be 6A on the 787.
That's 6A on a 787. Those seats are the bassinet positions (the open area next to the AVOD console is where the bassinet sits). On a 77W, similar bassinet seats are D and H in the bulkhead rows 5 and 7. I think A and F seats in these rows have a closet for the CAs in these areas and not an open space. They are normally blocked for lap-infiants, but are offered at check-in. Maybe elites can unblock them by calling?

I'm booked on ANA flight 5. Does anyone know if the problems with the 787 are forcing any equipment changes on other routes, particularly LAX-NRT?
