Really now pretty much all KE long-haul flights are Prestige Sleeper (or better), except for routes served by 747-400s, which are all Prestige Plus. (Though 747-8i are Prestige Suites.) The upside of that, though, is that KE will often upgrade SkyTeam Elite Plus pax from J into F on the 747-400s (or at least they do so not infrequently for me - and each time it's an unexpected surprise).
I've been keeping an eye on it because I have an award booking coming up with one leg on an A330-300 and the other leg on an A380. I'm flying with my wife and don't really care about the aisle access, but I'm hoping the A333 will have the Prestige Suites just so we can try them out since the A380 will definitely have Prestige Sleepers.
