"Normal" headphones will work but you may need a two prong to banana adapter. They can be found in most stores that sell headphones. Sometimes they have the adapters on board.

I certainly hope not as the only thing left to "refresh" would be figuring out how to cram more seats in the Y cabin. The 330s are some of the few remaining holdovers from the "good ole times" with decent seat width and pitch throughout given today's new/awful standards.

I think it’s currently
- 15 332 / A330-200 2 Class: J20 Envoy, W21 Y206 (54 MCE)
- 9 333 / A330-300 2-class: J28 Envoy, Y263 (16 MCE)

Help with seating
Recently booked a flight from LHR to LAX with the family. Could someone please help me with the seating on an outbound Boeing 777-200 and inbound Boeing 777-300ER. Are the outbound seats in row 17 worth the extra spend and why the 2-4-2 configurations? I would like to make the trip as comfortable as possible, so any insight on seating for both would be greatly appreciated.

A321 from CLT to LAS
Hello,
I'll be on AA627 in February.
I try to choose my seats, but I can't decide. There are so many versions of A321... I think I'll have the old one, without IFE
Do you perhaps know what seat (economy) I better have to pick up?
I was thinking about Row 5, MCE. What do you think?
Manty thanks!
Best regards from France!

If it’s a former US Airways plane (with only the bulkhead and exit rows as Main Cabin Extra), 10A and 10C have huge amounts of legroom (or whatever the first exit row on the left side of the plane is). There’s no row of seats immediately in front.

AA62 - MIA > CDG - J seat
Hello
I am looking to change an existing booking from a 789 flight, onto the AA62 (777-200) route.
I am under the impression that the business seat is the same on these two flights (Super Diamond), but am frankly a little confused searching due to the three business class seats that operate on AAs 772s.
Would anyone be able to confirm either way?
Thanks!

It depends on which 777-200 operates your flight. All have direct aisle access. But some are Zodiac "Concept D" seats as described at https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/amer...-business.html
There are so many swaps, don't be surprised if you have either.

No more 777-200ER Zodiac C37 vs C45 lottery, all airframes with C37 and W24. Albeit, the fleet includes
19 with Zodiac yin-yang seats in Business
28 with Super Diamond angled forward reverse herringbone seats in Business

The Airbus A321neo (new engine option) aka “32Q” in a densified F20 / Y176 configuration in early 2019. See https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/amer...ly-2019-a.html.
