My wife and I are flying the SFO-NRT route in F in a few months. One thing I've read in a few reviews is that the "seat is not so wide". On Seatguru, the F seat is listed as 33 inches wide, the widest I've ever seen and twice as wide as their 16.5 inch economy seat. Is the width just mis-lableled or were people really considering 33 inches inadequate? I'm 6'2 225 and generally uncomfortable in Economy and even Economy plus type seats, so found these statements a bit concerning.

When in an upright position, the seat has armrests that come up and they do make the seat feel a lot narrower than it looks. You can see the armrest position in some of the pictures from jmj10's post above. I wouldn't be surprised if the 33" figure includes the armrests or was measured when the seat was in bed mode. That said, I wouldn't call it constraining or uncomfortable - perhaps just annoying.

I'm glad you have found nothing to be annoyed with, although what your size has to do with service, I'm not so sure...

It's annoying in the sense that at times I do wish the armrests could be manually adjusted, and I expounded on this as I do believe the criticisms mentioned by arjaok to be understandable.

Gee, size obviously refers to seat comfort.

Looking forward to pictures (I won't be taking my next NH F until the summer).

Recently on NH106 (HND-LAX) the free wifi voucher in F was a full flight access voucher, which is a huge improvement over the 100MB card they gave out previously. Nice to see service levels / soft product actually improve on an airline!
