This info did the trick for me, looks like my flight is the older style config.

Correct ^

This worked for me as well

So then is there anyway to figure this sort of info out for other airlines and or types of plane. To clarify my question: if I'm trying to figure out whether my US, AS, CX, DL, UA, CO etc. flight is using a new or old biz config, and what this config looks like is there anywhere you guys recommend going or am I best off just coming to the experts on FT once I know my details such as carrier, destination, plane type etc. ?
