A few months ago, I came in to HND from an overnight flight on NH J and the attendant said that the shower room would be free for me since I arrived in business class.

The question was for a Thai Airways flight. But I am not sure if NH runs this as a permanent offer, or it was a campaign at that time.

! The larger cabin seems a bit more "airy".

I am sure this has been asked before and I tried searching but was not able to find an answer.
I have the option of flying SJC-NRT on a 788 or LAX-NRT on a 77W. There are two of us flying together, is there any real benefit of flying on one aircraft or the other? I think the seat size/layout for two people is pretty much equivocal.

Did you look at the cabin layout?
I flew NH 5 and I took some photos of J seating and it's staggered.

I just had this happen to me on an upcoming YVR-HND trip. 789 with Business Staggered swapped with an 788 with Regional Business Class seats. NH refuses to allow me to reroute because they view the two as equivalent.
Think the risk of that happening on the LAX route is much lower than on SJC.

Good point. I did not think about that. I agree that is a lot more likely to happen on SJC.
