A320 NEO/A321 NEO new seats
John Walton at Runway Girl Network has indicated that https://runwaygirlnetwork.com/2017/0...ul-a320321neo/ these seats (Acro series 6) will be on the forthcoming NEOs.
Looks like no change in pitch, but seats that may be an improvement (with a wider middle seat which has to be welcome) and of course further confirmation that there will be no business class on the A321 (so Works Deluxe is not dead). As long as Space + seating isn't reduced in number, it looks not bad.

Interesting that this article
https://www.flightglobal.com/news/ar...neo-fl-435881/
says 'deliveries are scheduled to begin in 2018'. I thought the first NEOs were due around August this year ... has this changed or will passengers be standing for the first few months ?

I think it's good they're adding some width to the middle seat but I'm not sure I'll be booking it as such. If it's free next to my window seat then I'll slide on over for a bit. I'm average height and happy with seat pitch on the A320's so have no issues with them keeping this. +1 is taller and seems ok also.
Maybe down the track NZ will relook at J but I really am not a QF/VA fan of 737 J. QR's A320 J refurb is brilliant - but that is likely wishful thinking for NZ.

They mention the Airbus Cabin-Flex for the A321neo (higher MTOW, more range, door rearrangement etc). Saying it will be available in Q4 2018 and will be the default A321neo format from 2020. So maybe the A321neo delayed for ACF so NZ doesn't end up with a mixed A321neo fleet?
This is more disruptive than the 789 sub fleets as the door arrangement is different and the capabilities. And just do a cabin refresh to get them into alignment.
