Sky Suite II is unique to the 767s, and the Sky Suite III unique to the 787-9 (used to be on the now retired 777-200ER as well), so getting a 767 is a guarantee against the Sky Suite III.

(some may helpfully point out that there a few old regional 767s in the fleet with recliner seats. Though the risk of them being sent to Seattle is not worth talking about)

IMO and IME,

SS > SS II >> SS III

Hmm, I notice a pattern there.

First time flying JAL, and got subbed from Sky Suite to the reverse herringbone Sky Suite III. Only realised the substitution once I walked into the cabin on board. 14 hour North America to Tokyo flight.

Was kind of a bummer, and fully agree that the reverse herringbone SS III's are quite tight. They're not very comfortable for a 10+ hour trek.

SSIII is really bad. I'm tall and my knees are not great. I need to bend and flex my legs a little bit once in while to keep them from cramping. In the SSIII, this is literally impossible without moving the seat to an upright position. I hate recliners, but I have to say that for me, the Shell Flat Neo is a lot easier to sleep in than the SSIII.
