The aircraft I’ve seen scheduled for IAD is the A330-200, not the A321LR (The A321neo isn’t mission capable, thank goodness).
As of now the flight is scheduled to be operated by an Airbus A330-200, featuring 269 seats. This includes 25 business class seats and 244 economy seats. Business class seats are in a staggered configuration, and are all fully flat. — One Mile at a Time

What date are you flying? If it’s the A330-200, I’ll move this conversation to the proper thread.
For a trip report on the TP A330-200, see
