I did a search, but it didn't turn up anything - sorry if this exists somewhere else.
I have two trips coming up in F, 812 from SYD to ICN, and 81 from ICN to JFK. My reservation just says 747....is there a way to know what configurations I will have? Do I get Sleeper Solos? If so, what is a good seat up there? SeatGuru only shows one configuration, which is a 2x2.
Appreciate any input and/or links to check.

Looked on ITN.net and both legs show up as a 747-400.
Hope that helps.

KE only operates 747-400's; no pax 747-300's in the fleet. I think the OP was getting at which interior configuration he'll have, specifically the old mechanical sleeper seat or the new Kosmo Sleeper seat. I think the old mechanical one is laid out in a 2x2 arrangement, while the Kosmos are herringboned.
For the answer, have a look in the threads in this forum listing which routes operate with the new seats, AVOD, in-seat power, etc. Please note that, for a period of time at least, on certain aircraft, Business Class and Economy Class had been refurbished but First Class had not. The thread in this forum tried to monitor that issue. As the refurbishment of the 747 fleet nears completion, KE may have had an opportunity to go back and re-do the First Class cabins on those partially-refurb'ed aircraft.
As best I recall, interiors on both New York routes (day/night) have been refurbished but interiors on the SYD route have not.

Here is a good link that KE just added to the website regarding the Kosmo Sleeper seat availability on all of their flights. Flight #81 from ICN-JFK has the Kosmo seat according to the chart. Clicking on the Oceana link does not yield any information so it is still unclear regarding flight #812 from SYD - ICN.

A the moment, ICN-SYD is the old style B777-200
