It could also be a direction issue. i.e. FROM the international station is programmed as an over-water leg, or maybe it's just from NRT is allowed business.
(Maybe I'm just special...)

You have to ask crew scheduling to book your BC seat on the front end of your deviation, I believe they will do it up to 14 days ahead of the flt. Deviation at the end you can change in I-crew once you've signed in for your trip. If no BC seats available you go in coach.
