Upgrading Business Class Seat

I did a little searching but couldn't find much details.

So maybe someone could point me in the right direction or provide information.

How extensively is KE upgrading their Business class seats? (I see most intra-asia routes as having the non sleeper seats.)
Are they upgrading the whole fleet or just part of the fleet?

Thank you.

KE finished upgrading transcontinental fleet already to my knowledge. With intra-asia flight, you are basically playing russian roulette at the moment. some of their a330s are upgraded, while some are not. sometimes, you will get 747s on the same route instead of a330s, and 747s are upgraded. sometimes you get stuck with godforsaken 300s, and wonder how they decide to still use that piece of junk. those, probably won't be upgraded, as KE will look to replace the planes altogether.

Is that true?

The KE website doesn't show all of them being upgraded.

I would be happy if that were really the case of the website being outdated!

The Kosmo seats only apply to F. In Prestige, you've got Prestige Plus (angled lie-flat) and Prestige Sleeper (flat bed), so it's a bit unclear what you're saying. Sounds like IAD-ICN had exactly what was advertised. What type of seat (not name) did you have on ICN-BKK?

Thanks for the follow up.

Are they done refurbishing planes?

Or are they going to continue with rest of the fleet?
