I bought two tickets for my parents thinking that the price was too good to pass up, even though it would be the old business cabin. Thanks to the forum, I now realize that it will likely be the new cabin! Of course, I can see that it is the new layout in my reservations but you never know with last minute equipment swaps. Hopefully all the A330s will be retrofitted by next July.
