My seat map shows 28 business class seats and 32 premium economy. Am I mistaken that I will be on a place with new seats?
Alternatively, I may be able to rebook in J on an AF 777-300 (the version with the 4 first class seats). Would this be a newer cabin or old as well?
If I can't get on the a350, I'm looking for the best possible 777 I can get on with AF.
The best possible B777 is the B772, all the same full-flat seat but not with doors. The retrofit standardizes the number of J seats but does not replace them with newer ones AFAIK.
On the B77W you have mostly the same seats, but there are 2 left (without P version) with the very old 2-3-2 angled-flat seats that are all over the system and even sub on B77W routes sometimes.
