NRT-LAX New Style
I´ve done a search but could not find a perfect answer. Is NRT-LAX in August/September operated with the 777 or 747. Fly-ana.com says 777 while Amadeus says 744.
If it is operated by a 744 is it equipped with the new F suites?
Most likely I will be on the flight on Aug 19,24,30 and Sep 6. If it is not the new F I would you for UA with suites?

The IFE is on a quite-small screen, but the seat is full-flat--if it weren't, I guess I'd go with UA, but it's really flat.
In addition, the food and exclusivity of NH F class was great. They don't fill up F class with many Op-Ups, so it just felt different from other airlines I've flown before. I think UA F is still nice, but the seat isn't much better, and IFE isn't either--much less service levels. I'd stick with NH, but opinions on this may vary.
If, however, you're talking about Business Class, then I'd go with UA F over NH C in a heartbeat--especially Old C on NH.
I will write a trip report ASAP.

NH F 744 or 773 both have new F so no worries.
Yes sometimes they fly 744's when demand for seats is higher. During Aug demand for seats is high because Japan has Obon which is 1-2 weeks off from work depending on what companies give off

NH offers a First Class Search Service (until June). You have to scroll down.
