I am on JL44 in February too and hoping for the A35K. Initially I thought it was guaranteed but now less so. Hopefully they can have the seats delivered within the next 3 months
If the delays are being caused by Safran, then hopefully they'll have the seats sorted within the next few months. I am confident that JA07 and JA08 will be delivered before the end of 2024, but I will also remain slightly reserved in my expectations. But fingers crossed we will get that email about the change in aircraft before our flights on JL43 and JL44 in February!
And side note, if you're also going to Japan for the Sapporo Snow Festival/winter activities. The early snow forecasts are looking very promising

I've just received a notification from AV about JA08's second test flight (customer acceptance flight) between TLS - TLS with a flight time of 1hr 42 minutes.
