New lie flat seats
Hello Everyone,

I will be flying from FCO to JFK in April on a 767 in Magnifca class. Will this plane have the new lie flat seats?

See the sticky thread, but the short answer is yes.

all 767 and A330 have lie flat seats.

The new FULL FLAT seats will be installed on the A330 delivered from June.

Will they be converting the existing A330's to full flat? And if so, when?

highly doubt it as they were converted only a year ago.

not to hijack this thread, but I have a choice of flying a 767 or the 777 in Magnifica class. It looks like the 767 have the lie flats, where as the 777's are regular seats. Is this correct?

Yes.
These are the pros and cons ( I have never flown on the 777 in Magnifica)

767:
Lie-flat (like the Singapore SkyBed)
PTV eVu (a portable player) cables can be bothersome.
Refurbished from 2005 to 2007
777:
Reclining seat 150degrees (like the NWA/DL 757 Business seat)
PTV larger and on demand
Some need some refurbishing (2001-2004)
A330
Newer model lie-flat compared to 767 (the one BMI uses, but with less pitch)
PTV different portable player
Refurbished 2008
