A330-200 ship numbers are 3351-3361. And pretty sure the A333 will not be a 359-seater after the flat-bed mod.

Sorry about both. For the seat count, I was looking at the wrong number (the total instead of the Y cabin alone).

Yes, they will be the Weber/Zodiac Cirrus. However, in Y, the seats will be B/E Aerospace Pinnacle (rather than Weber 5751 like on the 744s) with the Panasonic Eco 9i Integrated Smart Monitors.

I'm sure the answer to this is available elsewhere but what is the timeline?

The last I read, these two were getting mods and then they will hold off on further A330 mods until the 763s are done. My suspicion is that we'll see the modded A330s doing TPAC service, since DL might be able to quickly be at the point where they can say all TPAC routes have flat beds. I know there's been some discussion of MSP-NRT going A330 occasionally as the 777s start going in for maintenance, so this would be a way to lessen the blow on that route and maybe sell more premium cabin seats on LAX-HND.

I think it's a bit premature to start a "tracking" thread when it's clear that they are only modifying the first ship of each fleet as prototypes and aren't going to be ramping up full-scale mod lines until next fall. But then again, look at the source...

Nothing wrong with tracking early so people can use Flightaware, etc to see if their A/C might be lie flat.

BOM-AMS is run with a A332 I think, so definitely interested in flat beds for the night outbound flight!

They are going to go ahead and send in one 333 and one 332 into mods, get the STC for it and then start the rest of the fleet in the fall.
absolute latest they will be done is May 2014
