NRT-JFK/DFW 787 - lie flat seats?
Does anyone know if the NRT-JFK/DFW flights serviced by the 787 have lie flat seats? I was checking on seatguru and the dated pictures (June 2013) show angled seats. If some are still serviced by angled seats, do we know if JL is planning to replace those by mid year 2016?

You should be safe, the older configuration 787 are being moved to intra Asia as more Sky Suite planes are coming in. It is unlikely that JFK or DFW will go backwards. But nothing can guaranteed, current published scheduling of the planes and routes is until 26th of March.

I had a window on the south side, westbound so daytime, JFK-NRT in March. I found it a bit annoying not to be able to close the window shade (there is a maximum tint instead, but the sun was still sitting there throughout).

It may be low priority because of (lack of) competition on the route.

. Don't count on it. Probably won't happen. The routes that have SS8 are the routes with competition . Bos San and lax to kix don't have competition.
