Curious if anyone has flown in the new cabin. I just booked ORD-CDG flights for late summer and the AF website showing the retrofitted cabin. Any thoughts on larger front cabin versus smaller rear mini cabin? Would appreciate any insight - seats currently available in both.

Regarding the choice between front (main) or rear mini-cabin, this is not different between old and new seats.
I personally prefer to be seated at the front to be served quickly. The rear mini cabin is quieter but has the inconvenient to be served last for the meals and to have traffic coming from Y and W (as some W/Y pax come to use the J toilets and this rarely policed by the crew).

Now that we're in the summer season (March through October 2019), has anyone actually seen this retrofit on a flight to Seattle?

I will be flying AF655 on May 31 from DXB to CDG. At the moment the aircraft type is listed as A332 and based on the seatmap, it's the retrofitted cabin. Can anyone confirm? Based on the press conference, I am under the impression that these newly retrofitted birds won't be flying to Dubai

I don’t think anyone can confirm but you. We don’t have the seatmap of your flight, while you have it. To help to know which cabin you have (as differences are not so obvious), in this post, you have the differences between the old and new layout:

Cathay does not swap longhaul planes at the last minutes (unlike QR or TG). It only does for regional flights.
