LIM - EWR
I am on CO LIM - EWR on a 752 in a BusinessFirst seat in early March. I see on seatguru that CO has two configurations of this equipment - 1 version with lie flat BF seats and another with older BF seats.
Does anyone fly this route frequently or recently and/or have any intel on which config I should expect? Since both configurations have 4 rows it doesn't appear discernable on the website.
Thanks in advance for your help.

From a sheer numbers perspective 35/41 752's have the new Lie-Flat's, so your chances are pretty good

Throwing my $.02 in...the conversions to Lie Flat F seats is ongoing, so *theoretically* your odds are improving daily ^

You will be able to check ~2 days before the flight with some level of certainty via the "flight status" page on co.com - they may still substitute the a/c close to the flight date, but it is obviously less likely.

Thank you, all, for the quick and helpful replies.
I didn't realize that you can tell if the 752 in question has the lie-flat or standard BF seats from the flight status page on co.com. I just looked for todays flight and it shows a 752 with BF seating, but I am not seeing where it will show if its a converted lie-flat seat. Will you tell me where to look?

It's in the "inflight amenities" tab when you go to flight status. It will say "BusinessFirst: 2-2 Flat-Bed seating layout throughout the cabin. " if it has the flat seats.

I fly that route several times a year. As of last Nov., still the older style seats. Hope the conversion timing catches up to your flight.

ut. Right now, 35 of the 41 757-200 aircraft in the CO fleet have the lie-flat seats.

interestingly enough, according to a post today on CO's Facebook, they only list 33/41 as converted to Flat Bed seating.
