TG's A350 has the alternating 1-2-1 staggered arrangement (effectively giving almost 8 abreast) in business class. Perfectly wide enough for a fulll 1-2-1 F congiguration.

No narrower really than an A330/777 - both of those have ample 4 abreast F cabins with vaious carriers.

(seems a350 is about a foot more narrow)

i found a cabin width stated at 18.5 feet for the a350. But not sure how much of that is ‘usable’ for the current range of F suites out there? It just seems for wider planes they have much wide armrest/shelf thingies under the window to fill in the gaps.

Lufthansa has a perfectly adequate F cabin on the A340-600, and so did Thai back in the day. F is not where I think that the cabin width is a problem. Keeping the seat count with the Apex Suite in J is going to be the issue, and my expectation is that we will get another seat. And that F will be reduced in seat count to keep the seat count the same as the 77W.

I’m always wondering why JL/NH are using huge planes for domestic routes... I used to fly HND-OKA a lot on JL and expect the Class J the Y seats are always more than half empty

Those 747SRs flying the major routes were a sight to see when you step onto a full 500 seat domestic flight.

I guess it depends on time of day and route, I mostly experience the domestic flights to be packed. Even on 777-300s.

What is the date? Do you have OneWorld status? During weekdays HND-FUK can have good number of business traffic, where if you do not have OneWorld status then there is good chance there will be OneWorld elites ahead of you on the list. During weekends there should be less OneWorld elites.
One example, when I flew HND-FUK 777 flight on Yokoso fare few years ago on weekday, no F on Yokoso fare. I asked for F availability at the check-in, F was full, no availability, did standby. At the gate one F seat became available, I was OneWorld Emerald at that moment and I was #1 on the list, I got one F seat which became available at last minute.

Are you looking to do day of the flight upgrade? Why not purchase F now?

No status, and it's the noon flight on Wednesday Oct 23rd, so sounds like I'll have to be lucky to find an open F seat from the sounds of it. Hopefully Class J if no F, but no big deal if I can't get the upgrade.

I noticed while booking HIJ-HND flights they have 767s flying the route rather than the 73H's all day starting Sept 1.
Looking at the HND-FUK schedule, they're replacing 3 767s (9AM, 3PM, and 9PM) with the A359, so are those planes are being reallocated to the HIJ route?

The 767 used to Fukuoka have F seats, they don't seem to be planning to sell F to Hiroshima, so it is probably not the planes from the Fukuoka route that is being deployed to Hiroshima.
A huge jump in capacity on Hiroshima though. ..
