Gulf Air New Business Class flat bed seats
Hi all
Does anyone have any idea if these seats are available on all A320/330 ac yet. GF has sent out its announcement and marketing pics but I just have a feeling that these seats may only be on one /two ac but the ads would have you believe the whole fleet has been refurbed. (lots of airlines do this!)
" New cabins for your comfort
Newly refurbished aircraft interiors are now at your service. Whether you fly in an A330, A321 or A320 aircraft, you can relax in our Falcon Gold flat beds or the new Economy seats. Switch on your laptop to catch up with friends online or watch a good movie on your own personal touch screen on Skyhub, our unlimited inflight entertainment"

I VERY much doubt that these new J seats are on all aircraft yet. I suspect just new A320s. They were not on A330 1 month ago, as I am witness to 
They do look great though & if they had fitted them I would have flown them this week to BKK but I will not do so as the seats on their ex-MEA A330s are two generations old. Oman Air get that business for now.
Come on GF, get your backsides in gear

No way they are on all aircraft. I have never been on any aircraft yet that actually has them and I have flown GF about 12 times in the last 4 months.

I recently flew with the A320LR in new C.
Very good seat. Unfortunately, soft product extremely bad on outbound journey. After lunch was thrown out, no service what so ever!
Inbound, extremely good service (overnight) but in "old" A320 business class seats. BTW GF still provides PJs in C - that was a surprise...
Amenity kit was quite good for practical purpose. Got it both on both segments.
As far as I know, they only have two A320's with new seats (you can spot the new A320LR, as they only have one overwing exit). On these birds, very good pitch in Y (34 or perhaps 35 in)
