773 Newstyle on NRT-SIN
This was mentioned in another thread but the lack of response convinced me it merited its own. I was shocked to find myself in the newstyle F "pod" sold as C class on 901 to Singapore this week. The 773 must be new -- and somewhat rare -- on the Asian routes? Unfortunately I didn't get the 773 on the leg to NRT when I really could have used the flat bed. Is there any way to predict which planes they will be using? Could be worth rearranging travel schedules.

I was unexpectedly surprised to be on the newstyle 777 from SIN-NRT last month. They offered no first class services, just had the seats for the lucky few. Fortunately, the flight was light enough that everyone in J who didn't get the pod (but got the new J seat) had the one next to it blocked.

In Current schedule, B773ERs are partly used for
NH007/008 NRT-SFO

Only full-fare C ticketed passengers can reserve "F" seat.
Rest of "F" seats could be assined at airport.
