Anyone have recommendations for seat choices on AF?

A380, 787, and 777 (not sure which version).
I think all 777's have their new business class.

Dont choose AF 388, its angled flat

That's what I thought! My travel companion swears it's not. You have personal experience? 

ETA:  Looks like you're right, and it's not gonna change soon.  :-\

Client in front row in AA new business 777 1D/H. does it make sense that on that seat the divider between the 2 seats does not go down?

Looking to take Air Tahiti Nui business class on my way back from PPT. Anybody have any experience with it? I usually don't mind flying coach and saving my points for other redemptions (I'm not into MSing) but I can currently buy starpoints at the 50% discount so business class one way would "only" cost an extra ~$1,050 for two people (60k SPG = 75K AA)

Is it worth it? Or save my money and take 10 more scuba dives there? :)

TIA

It's a decent angle flat seat, plenty of foot space

TN J is nothing to get excited over, but it is more comfortable than Y.

If it's between J and 10 dives, do 10 dives.

will UA 15 EWR-HNL be considered Polaris in anyway, either the hard/soft product or lounge access?
Also the flight is only 11h 28m so I don't think I'll get PJs even if it was.

Not much of a difference, though i would go with LH, the 748 is newer and cozier
