A330 J Class Seats
Does the 58in pitch A330 version really only have a 131 degree recline??!! According to Seatguru these seats are also angle lay-flat. That seems impossible given the limited recline. The A333 with only 49in has a better recline and Seatguru does describe them as lay-flat.

THAI has 17 A330 aircraft, only 2 in the old regional '333' configuration with recliner style seats. The 330 and 33H have an older generation sloped flat seat. SeatGuru information is not always correct.
The THAI website shows:

one of the two with recliner i have "enjoyed" during recent years only twice on the BKK CNX route
but many times A330 with the angle flats, which are ok for regional routes, but painful on the red eyes to Korea

The J seat is still better than the Y seat on these red-eyes. Taken too many of them, and yet they seem better than the morning departures from BKK that go via HKG.

I believe BR flies a 77W on the route which does have lie-flats.
