AF retrofit schedule

Boy did I mess up. I just booked my family flights from MIA to CDG. I flew this route two times before, both times in an A380s so I was excited to select the 777-300ER, thinking it will have the new J product.

Well, just went in to select my seats and it turns out it’s the 2-3-2 co figuration.

I’m really bummed since I was telling my kid about the lie-flat seat, showing him pictures of it and got them excited over the experience.

I’m still within my 24h window to cancel, but I was wondering if I might be lucky and by the time we fly the plane will be retrofitted. Except I don’t know where to look... Flight number is AF99, flying on sept 3rd.

I might be mistaken, but I don't foresee Miami regularly getting a different J config, it's not a destination usually served by the 777 COI (the 77W sub-fleet undergoing renovation) nor la Première.

Thanks. What about KL or VS?

I hope your kids will survive this horrible experience to fly J in a 2-3-2 config...

Haha, Goldorak , thanks for the slap, I didn’t want to come as over pretentious. I’m pretty sure that given a choice, we’d all go for the newest product.

Anyway thanks to irishguy28’s intervention earlier I called and rebooked on VS with an extra 19k miles per person.
