Essentially if you are on a 333 (once QPJ goes in for refurb - likely any day) you are guaranteed the new product.
If you are on a 332 its still luck of the draw...
Best guide is from the published seat maps for the flight - if business is 2x2x2 its not a refurb, if its 1x2x1 it is.
A travel agent with access to GDS or using Expertflyer will let you view seatmaps (a limited number for free, or paid subscriptions as well)

Qf 51 bne-sin
Hey guys,
any idea if QF 51 (A332) is usually with the newly refurbished business class seat ? Flying out May 18. Seat chart on QF website currently shows new business class seats but am just curious if this is likely to change 1 month out or if this is pretty much confirmed.
Cheers from Brisbane,

According to http://www.theqantassource.com/qfflighttracker.html, chances look good.

There's at least one 332 with the old 7 across Biz domestic seating (with the tray in the middle seat). I know because I was on it last Friday. Didn't catch the tail number (letters).

Makes no sense using fully refurbed 332's to from Perth and not to PVG HNL at least - silver wing J seats is just crazy those ac should be domestic only.

Read again.
It's only EBG/EBL (the SkyBed I equipped aircraft) on those international routes.
I don't think the Silverwing/Recaro aircraft have ever been used to Asia
