econ seats on ORD-NRT-BKK

  • I have a $400 fare ORD-NRT-BKK on a UA codeshare with NH on 1/1/04. But its a bulk fare (in conjuction with a tour)and I'm not sure I can upgrade using UA Sweet Spots. If not I'll be stuck in coach.

    NH8227 (ORD-NRT) is listed as a 777 and NH8257 (NRT-BKK) is a 744.

    Never flown NH metal before but I read a thread here on exit rows. Given I'm 6'3" I need some leg room.

    Does anybody know if the metal on these flights has leg room and/or which are the exit rows.

    Is there anywhere I can track down the seating map? Couldn't get it to come up on Amadeus.

    I'm not sure I want to deal with the ORD-NRT leg in 32" pitch seats.


  • In an environment where bruised feelings can turn into unseemly recriminations, it is refreshing indeed to see nor4's understanding reaction to schoflyer's comments.

    I'm sure that the latter's intent was to be helpful, and I'm equally confident that schoflyer's keen eye will see that many FlyerTalkers wait until well after their twelfth post before taking others to task.

    Editorial comment: This post has absolutely no value or content whatsoever. It was written as some sort of tragically unsuccessful Zen writing exercise.

  • My comment was but a sentence in length: I'm sure that [schoflyer's] intent was to be helpful, and I'm equally confident that schoflyer's keen eye will see that many FlyerTalkers wait until well after their twelfth post before taking others to task.I stand behind the words when they are taken at face value, but have no comment about the curious inferences that the previous poster appears to have made.

    The NH board is a particularly civil forum, and each of us would do well to do our best to keep it that way.

  • Answers on NH metal in Y below.

    IAD-NRT 772:
    Exit row in Y is row 41. On exit row, window seats less desirable because of exit door assembly protrusions (I'm sure this is not the official technical term http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif) limit legroom but still a whole lot better than regular Y.

    Y is 3-4-3. Middle row avoid bulkhead row because of limited legroom and the fact that most likely you will have to endure a crying baby the whole journey.

    NRT-BKK 744:
    Exit row is row 34. I think there is another exit row towards rear of plane but I try not to sit towards the rear on a 744 - takes forever to deplane.

    Avoid middle row aisle because of IFE device placement at the foot area severely limits legroom.

  • I apologize if my long-winded post was not civilized enough for wideman (or anyone else for that matter). I agree whole-heartedly that civility is paramount especially in written forums.

    However, I am disappointed that wideman could "stand behind" his comments without acknowledging mine as anything more than "curious inferences that the previous poster appears to have made."

    Cheers.

  • Apology accepted. I was just pretty frustrated this morning so I needed to insert the tepid rant.


  • Just a small rant here so others don't fall into the hole I just did.

    Because I was trying to be nice and help out, I wasted a fair bit of time looking for NH8227 ex-ORD. This would surely be UA metal if it existed and I was looking for details to confirm this so as not to just speculate and possibily give you inaccurate information.

    Of course I now have gleaned from my search that it is UA8227 ex-IAD.

    It would be cool if next time you post, and provided details, they were accurate.

    Since this is a UA flight, why don't you try posting on the UA board with the accurate info.

    Peace Out.

    Schoflyer
    I am truly sorry to have messed up and put you through some unnecessary work, all to help me. Please accept my apologies.

    I was checking both IAD and ORD to see if there was another alternative to the IAD NH flight and wrote down on my note pad ORD-NRT-BKK but then...I drifted to the IAD flights and got caught up in NH metal questions. I wrote down the NH flight numbers under the ORD-NRT-BKK notation and, somewhat later, put together the FT post above.

    In other words, I blew it. Sloppy work deserving of your rant.

    Thanks for making the effort on my behalf. I'll be more careful in the future (I usually am).

    Moderator, this thread can be closed since I only have to deal with UA metal, as Schoflyer has correctly pointed out.


  • Wideman:

    I see where you are coming from with your comments and Nor4 clearly understood my frustration yesterday. Yes, I did contemplate wether or not my "Post Count" should factor into my reply before I submitted it.

    Clearly you're suggesting that it was a bit to progressive for member of my stature.

    However, I have a question for you.

    What is the number of posts I or any other member must make before before he/she is allowed to express thier feelings in this public forum.

    20, 50, 100, 500, 1740?

    I am of the opinion that that it is irresponsible to judge someone merely by the number of posts they have made on flyertalk.

    I registered and made my first post in February. I read the board every day. Do you know how long I had been lurking prior to my first post?

    As a counterpoint, what if I registered a week ago and posted 50 times a day. Then by the time I reply to nor4, I've got a solid 350 posts under my belt. All's good right? Wrong.

    I did not FLAME, and I qualified my rant. Maybe I should't have even used that word in the post, however nor4 clearly understood where I was coming from and posted a refreshingly sincere apology, which made me feel a lot better after I had spent time chasing a flight number on the wrong carrier form the wrong airport.

    As far as I can tell, there is no concrete definition for "Taking others to task."
    I related my frustration with sarcasm and made two direct comments to nor4. If he felt "taken to task" I apologize, but I am confident that this is not the case.

    And why was I chasing this information? Because it made no sense that NH metal would be flying out of ORD. There was something wrong here and I took the initiave to try and figure out what.

    Maybe I saved unagi1, Tokyorich or Chiangi some chasing? Maybe I saved nor4 from buying a ticket to ORD before he realized that he was on a UA flight out of his hometown?

    But whatever the case, I disagree that the number of posts you have below your handle should be used as a qualifier for what you are allowed post or style it is written.


    Peace out.

  • NH8227 on a 777, definately means it is UA883, should avoid this flight as possible, since it is a 777 on pacific, that means no E+ at all, real cramped, and this flight is always full, can't even stretch your arms on the side. If you can, get the earlier flight UA881, (not sure what is the code-share flight # though) which is a 744, at least got E+, but no PTV.
