Does anyone here know the reconfiguration schedule for the CX744 fleet to 74A?

Never got answered so posting again to see if anyone missed it...does anyone know the reconfiguration schedule for the 744s and 74Js to 74A (and a possible later 74A premium version)?

5) B-HOS (finished)
6) B-HKV (finished)
7) B-HKD (finished)
---------
8 ) B-HOV (arrived at Xiamen for reconfiguration on 21 Dec)
9) B-HUJ (arrived at Xiamen for reconfiguration on 26 Dec)

Relatedly, where are the reconfigured aircraft flying these days? And does anyone know which routes will get them next?

Generally new Airbus with new config are going to SYD, 777s are going to JFK, 74A are going to LAX and LHR.

But there are no definites as CX is chopping and changing aircraft all over the place at the moment.

Does anyone know how long it takes for each 747 to be reconfigured (or, more importantly for my purposes :) ), how many 74As should be in service by the end of February?

Many thanks!

I'm flying to HKG from the US West Coast end of March, which West Coast gateway gives me the best chance on getting on an aircraft with the new business class?

Although my Vancouver-Hong Kong flight is not until November, what aircraft is scheduled for that route? This will be my first time flying CX ever, and in J, and after reading what all of you say here, I'm looking forward to it as compares to US carriers. My return flights will be on JAL so I can experience and compare the two airlines.

YVR will likely have the 74A. It currently runs on most flights to YVR but you can still get the 74J as well (old seats).

This thread was originally about the reconfig schedule of 74As and where they will go, and it seems not many people know where they will be headed next. Someone posted here that I think 7 are done and 2 more are being reconfigured right now, out of 22 74J/744 total. Also CX switches equipment very frequently - even the FAs on the flights out of YVR (based in YVR) are never exactly sure when they will have 74A or not, last month the check-in lady swore to me on that day (Tuesday) it should've been 744 but it turned out to be 74A. FAs were surprised as well.
