I wonder which version of the 77W JAL sends for the HND-HKG route. No F for NRT's 767.

I think JAL sends their 772 to Hong Kong with JAL Shell Flat for their Haneda flight

For their Narita Flight, I recall it is 767 with Skyluxe (the most aged seat similar to CX Old Regional J)

Was going to post about this... what happened to KIX? (Have a KIX award booked for the KIX DO, but have been seemingly downgraded to J; not soo excited about that.) Tempted to route via HND, but will require another flight to KIX [and probably an overnight near HND as CX542 seems to be my favorite CX route with the 744]

Now that JL is the only airline to provide F cabin all the way from ORD to CGK via TYO, I switched all my travel from CX to JL for that convenience.

I quite surprised that JL sends 77W version with F class to CGK and they don't offer F cabin on any of HKG flights despite the status of HKG and the high demand for F cabin in HKG market

HND is usually "guaranteed" to have F service. Other intra-Asia F destinations including BKK,SIN, ICN might sell F at first, but you have to bet CX won't swap to J-only service last minute.

Only 4 flights sold for F though, out of 20 or so flights daily - not sure what that means with regards to equipment roulette.
