It's really a gamble, (the ones with the new configurations have the larger titles)

The European flights are all operated by 772ER with the long-haul configuration which includes Deluxe Economy, although sometimes VN may like to throw in a regionally configured 772 with no PTV in Y. There are only 4 772 with the newly reconfigured J & Y. If you are flying to CDG or FRA, these flights are normally with the long-haul product.

So flying with VN is really a gamble, it just depends which aircraft you happen to fly on. Australian flights are normally very very full, although the service needs vast improvements.
