Its a quick refresh - just seat coverings, cushions, a few tray tables and the like.

Would expect it to happen sooner rather than later given these aircraft are still expected to leave the fleet in late 2017 when the 787-9s start arriving.
Only question is whether it means a pause/slowdown in the 330 refurb program to provide capacity while the refurb is done.

The only caveat is this blog which suggested that heavy maintenance also required on both aircraft:

Albeit a poster on the AusBT article above suggests the really expensive 'D' check is still two years away on both aircraft.
