In the Wiki, thee is a post from last August with the planned service dates for the refurbished aircraft on specific routes. Have there been any updates to this?
I am specifically interested in YUL-CDG (I'm flying on 12 March). The Wiki shows the 450-seater 777-300ER (J28W24Y398) on this route as of 4 March. However, the seat maps are showing the 400-seater 777-300ER (J40W24Y336) all this week for AC870. Also, none of the 77W (J28) versions have been refurbished, according to the Wiki.
Anyone have experience in the last couple of days on this route as to which of the many versions of the 77W is flying now?

Knowing which aircraft it is would be great - refurbed 77W (Dream cabin), old pods 77W, or the 77W HD (shudder!).

Flightradar24 shows usually the next 1-2 days, but often aircraft are subbed so you really don't know until you have taken off. As for the next few months, the wiki has some specifics, but last-minute changes will happen until the entire fleet is converted.

Thanks for the link to FlightRadar24. You are partially right - it shows C-FIVQ for tonight's flight to Paris, but FlightRadar24 identifies the fin as S/N 749 (not 740). The aircraft has just arrived at the gate (nice view from the temporary international YUL lounge), and I can confirm that it is fin 740 and C-FIVQ. The fin (S/N) data on FlightRadar24 is incorrect.

777 variants to Beijing from YYZ and YVR
I am heading to Beijing next weekend (Sat 19th) and would go via YVR or YYZ if I could figure out which route has the new pods on the 777. Does anyone know which planes run on these routes? I see the YYZ - PEK flight appears to have PE, so assume it is the new interior. HOWEVER, the YVR flight shows an odd seating config but no PE, so I assume tired old pods? I have found the odd seating layout on website sometimes means new interior. For those long flights it makes a difference- the PE seats are about equal to the old pods to me, so if I'm going to pay the premium for J (P actually), it's only for the good ones. Any advice appreciated - thanks

Flew C-FIUF-702 yyz-hkg couple weeks ago. Was nice surprised to get the refurbed plane. Was seated in 4D and it felt a little more cramped than on the 787. It would have been nice if the middle divider could be pushed down if you were travelling with a companion.
Doesn't look like the yvr-hkg planes will be done by the Mar 30. My flight for April 14 is showing the old seat map again
