See below in the expanded wiki for the list of the reconfigured aircraft.

December 3, 2015 Alaska announced a reconfiguration of its fleet.

Also, pitch in the First Class cabin will be increased from 36" to 42" providing a significantly enhanced experience for those customers.

First -900 is N319AS. Should return to service in the second half of January.

The timeline for the -800's was just shy of four months. The -900/-900ER's will take just over a year.

You can find the scheduled tail number of your flight here:

(replace as123 with as[your flight num])
However aircraft swaps are frequent, even up to the last hour.

Ended up being academic since we got a T-90m upgrade, but this flight was on a yet-to-be-converted -900. Glad for the upgrade - and that I didn't play the odds by switching out of row 17.

I believe the 700's will be getting interior upgrades starting in 09-2018.
Looks like we'll be on 464 this morning. Expertflyer has row 34 blocked out, I'll report back after the flight, if it takes off.

Update: 464 has been refitted.

The Wiki needs an update. Anyone have precise info? Are there any 739s left in service in the old config?

All 900/900ER’s are now configured with Premium Class. New deliveries will come without it from boeing but will be reconfigure before entering service.
