I don't know when they are going to convert more A380's to PE and if they will then also do these cosmetic changes to the other cabins. I would guess not... Have they actually started to install more PE cabins on older A380 frames? With all the hullabaloo about this new product, they really should if they want to be believable.
I believe they announced end of last year that they’d retrofit roughly half of each fleet to include PE, starting end of this year. They were also considering including 1-2-1 seats for the 77Ws, but I doubt they’d do that.
