My seat bookings are also showing that it will be the older slanty bed J config 332. Super pissed
Specifically booked this award for flat beds from DOH back to Aus - now that won't be the case. Do I need to contact AA about this change as my reservation is no longer viewable on their site. I can still seee my booking on QR and CX sites respectively...
You cannot be sure that the A332 will have the old slanted seats by looking at the seat map. Most of the A332s have been retrofitted (I think that there are only a couple of slanted-seat ac left and they are unlikely to be sent to HKG).
QR used to have four rows of slanted seats in the J mini-cabin (pitch 60"), they replaced them by three rows of flat seats (pitch 75" or 78", I don't remember) and added a row after the galley. They also reduced the pitch in Y, so the number of Y seats remain the same (some ac even have one more row of Y).
While these J seats are conventional 2x2x2 per row (not private solo seats like on CX or on some of other QR ac)), they have a lot of personal space (wider at the feet and shoulders) and go horizontal.
