One-class service GMP-HND
I have an upcoming GMP-HND-SFO in C.
I was just informed that the GMP-HND segment has been changed to an all-coach 767 and I have been downgraded. This must be the result of the 787 groundings.
However, on Expert Flyer, the seat map shows 2-2-2 configuration at the front of the cabin.
Does anyone have experience with this aircraft or new service on this sector? I assume it will be coach meal service even if an business class seat?

If you look closely at the seat maps, it appears that they are using a domestic 767 for JL90 and JL95, at least next week (seven rows up front instead of five -- meaning Class J seats). The JAL website also mentions that these flights don't have IFE.

Flight is Feb. 2
The forward 5 rows: are they the same seat as coach? are they an old-style business class seat (recliner-style)?
And, I assume service is a coach-standard, even in rows 1-5?

They are domestic Class J seats and service is standard Y. Can you request a flight change if you want to fly in C?
