Flying 330-200 in September.
When I purchased my Air France tickets in April, my nonstop flight from Ord to Cdg showed the new business class seat configuration for 330-200. I fly out in September. Is there any good guess as to whether I will be on that newly refurbished plane or get changed back to the old stuff?
thanks.
thanks.

I booked my dad and myself in late September ord-cdg specifically for this cabin because it showed the new J map. Now when I look the only day in September to feature the old map is my flight. Is this by any means set in stone? Sorry for being a nervous nelly, I just don’t know why one specific flight over 2 months out is showing the old cabin.

If you check, for instance, F-GZCI, which, indeed, has been retrofitted, you will find that while it is assigned to the ORD route, it is also used on the SEA, DFW, LOS and a bunch of African routes. Not sure what the rationale is. Perhaps to keep everyone happy with a retrofitted A332 every once in a while. It is a bit of a sick Russian roulette, not knowing what you will get. My philosophy -- brace yourself for the worse, and hope for the best .

Yea, I work for AA so I absolutely understand that things can change. The only thing curious to me is that from now until the end of September every flight from ORD-CDG is showing the new J cabin except my flight, I guess it's just bad luck. Working for AA I get to fly lie-flat all the time and rave about it to my dad so he's excited, though I suppose he hasn't flown any J product before so I'm sure the older product will but just fine for him. Thanks again for all the help in this forum!

Hopefully, although Summer is generally the peak demand for aircraft, and I would assume the retrofits slow. I am watching my September flight daily for any aircraft swaps. Fingers crossed!

If someone has an EF or similar account that can look up the tail-number for the wiki, it was AF338 on August 1 2019.
