BCFO already said in his post that he has the new cabin on the seat selection page.

But BCFO is talking about a flight in about 2 weeks from now. There is no way to know in advance which plane will fly a given flight in 2 weeks.

That’s indeed the only thing to do.

I appreciate any information you can give me.
As said above, the only way to know is to look on your day of departure which plane will fly CDG-ORD. To make you feel better, ORD is consistently served with the new cabin, unless you have a last min substitution due to a mechanical problem.
