I am trying to get from BKK to ICN in a few weeks and one of the decent options is the Asiana flight. It's a redeye so I want the new style seats, it shows as a 333, am I assured new seats on this plane or are there some variations in the fleet? Also are there chances the plane may be sub'd out? There is a TG flight at a similar time and I know that one has angle flat seats, so I'm not inclined to go with Asiana unless there is good certainty.
thanks

All Asiana's 330's have the new C class and, in my experience, aircraft swaps are rare (I fly them often enough and have never experienced it). You'll get the new C. Go with OZ, as IMHO the service and food are much better than Thai.....

Currently you can 99.5% rely on Asiana's schedule up to Oct 27 unless heavy rain or fog comes to ICN airport so that all schedules are messed up (it won't happen, don't worry). The schedule after that will be changed quite a lot. As BenLurkin' said, all 330 has new C seat. Enjoy~

I take it from your name that you have been around here a while but just a bit too shy to post?

I agree with BenLurkin! Go with Asiana! Service is great, and you'll get the new C class on the 330's! Welcome to FlyerTalk Ben! :D^

Good to have an Asiana lurker come out from the shadows!

New seats. :) The schedule/aircraft changed beginning of September. I flew on 9/9/07 and the service was impeccable! :D
