I'm booking FCO-BOS on Jan5 (on Delta) and I think I see the new 330 map: Y+ and row 33 with only 3 seat in centre aisle.
Flew same route end of November and we had the old plane. Chatting with the FA's they didn't know about the new aircraft coming on the route.

A new A330 is expected on this route by January I think, although the TravelDesk isn't working anymore so I'm just going by the alitalia website. To check for your flight simulate a booking and take a look at the seat map, it should say either "332" for the old A330 or "330" and in that case it's one of the new ones.

Any idea of the MIA-FCO, FCO-MIA A330 business class old seat or new seat?
Travel time is in Jul / Aug.
DL award held till Monday 12/16 to ticket.
Cannot figure out this would be the old seat or new seat.

To above, please just use the standard method of simulating a booking .
Also just to note that I've updated the first post with some more up-to-date info. If anyone can tell us:
*What's going on with the J menus
*What do you think of the Y+ seating on the 777's
*Did you find any TR's I missed for the 330 Y-class or the 777 J-class
that would be much appreciated .

My goodness they are maddening to deal with. Took two more calls to change the seats to 3 E/G. The first rep insisted that the "agency" need to cancel the remarks that were in my reservation before she could do anything - even though the remarks (which read "seats assigned") were made by AZ.
Thanks for the info on the E/G seats!

Any comments on the 777 row 18, K,L? If not, I'll provide some in a day or so
edit: equip swap for A330, which I prefer.

I saw this question asked earlier in the thread but had not seen a response.
Is there any plan to refurbish the old Air One planes with the new business class product?
I have flights reserved for October and the JFK-FCO is clearly in the new 1-2-1 format as it's a 777. But, my return is FCO-ORD and the current seat map suggests the 2-2-2 config in business. Certainly not the end of the world but it would be nice to have the new seats both ways.

By the time October comes around you may find there is an equipment change. However there is no plan to refurbish the Air One A330's, which will be removed within a couple of years and are mainly used on charter in any case.

Regarding J Menus
Having just completed flights in J on AZ609 and 610, I've transcribed the menus from these flights here: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/alita...us-moment.html
Basically, they're doing a "best-of" campaign now, as opposed to recycling back through the regions one at a time.

A330 Magnifica Honeymoon Seats
It looks like there are 4 separate pairs of "honeymoon" seats on the A330: rows 1, 3, 5, and 6 (all seats E & G). 6E and 6G are in the back cabin, 1, 3 and 5 in the front. Any preference in which row to pick? Any row more roomy/private/likely to get first choice at dinner service? Have upcoming flights JFK-MXP-JFK on AZ and just curious if anyone whose flown in these seats has any opinion on what to pick (they're all open now).

Personally I'd avoid row 1 and 5 so that makes 3 the choice!

I can book on 772 Y cabin 18L and 20L without any extra fee. Are there any drawback with these seats not mentioned on seatguru?
Similar premium seats are available for a 60EUR extra... (NRT-MXP)
