new premium economy
Hi guys
I am interested in NZ4 AKL-LAX on 11th April. This flight is showing as a 772, how do I establish if this is a refitted 772 or an old one? Reason for asking is I'm keen on the the new style premium economy seats.
Apologies if this has been posted already - if so please a link to how can establish this would be great.

New style "Business-Lite" PE seats are configured 2-4-2 (8 abreast) on the 77E (refit), while existing 772s are 3-3-3 (9 abreast).
It's as simple as doing a dummy booking on Air NZ's site, choosing PE and see which seat map loads.
FYI: you will most likely end up with the existing (old) PE seats, as the new refit 77Es are prioritized for the Singapore and Hong Kong routes, followed by Vancouver, until more in the fleet are done up.
There might be a chance you might get one due to a reschedule, but not very likely at this stage.
