I just booked a flight in F on TG642 (BKK-NRT redeye) on 6 June, and the plane is listed as 777. I didn't find any seating information at all on SeatGuru and SeatExpert, so I came to search here. Now I know why! I guess the configuration is too new.
The only thing that concerns me is that there is no discussion about TG642 having the new planes, only TG676! Is that a cause for concern?

Or simply check-out the seatmaps on SeatGuru for Jet Airwats 777-300 - that's where they're coming from...

For these leased planes, I believe it is a herringbone layout (at least that's what I was told by TG in BKK). I don't believe they have seating altered on planes they lease from other companies.

Correct, the planes leased from Jet Airways are 1-2-1 herringbone design lie flat seats. The nice thing about these seats is that they are much wider than other herringbone design seats - wider than CX and AC for example. TK's 77W are all leased from Jet Airways as well, so do a search for TK 77W trip reports to find pictures. Of course, TG service will probably be a tad nicer than TK's!

To add more strange, I did search ANA tool for a whole month of June and didn't see any date that has an F award available on TG642.
