3 Row BF 752?
 
Just had an aircraft change to a 752 from PUJ-IAH in Nov. Seatguru doesn't show a three row 757 in First. Will this be equipped with standard First or Intl BF seats. Thanks in advance.

When is the flight?

If it's imminent (like in the next few days), it's likely an aircraft swap to a 737.

CO doesn't update the schedule for operational swaps.

Its not until Nov 26th. Was a 733 until I checked the reservation a few days ago. Seats were reassigned too.

It likely is a swap to a 752 - but CO only guarantees seat availability of the 757 with the fewest seats - which would be a 753 with 12FC before the reconfig to 24FC. As far as I know, the 752s are all BF-equipped now - so as long as it's still listed as a 752 at time of departure, you'll expect the BF config.

I rode in that exact seat (3F) from Tampa to Houston on Saturday. I t was a nice seat, looked new & nice video setup. The seat pocket was full of info making me think it was Intl, but I'm not sure

I'm 95+% certain that CO no longer has any 3-row 757s in its fleet. All but two of the 41 757-200s have been re-configured with the 4-row BusinessFirst cabin, the remaining 2 aircraft (with 6 rows of domestic F) will be reconfigured by the end of September (after the busy TATL summer season). All 757-300s (this is the part I'm not 100% on) have 6 rows of domestic F seats.

You can be sure that as soon as CO sorts out exactly what the equipment change will be on this particular flight, the seat map will be "corrected".

Yes, all of the 753 fleet has been converted back to 24 F seats. This was completed several months ago.

According to what CO Insider posted recently, there are only 2 752s with 24 first class seats right now.

The seat map showing only three rows in F would lead me to think you're going to see an equipment substitution, or the website is just acting up again.

According to co.com (and the timetable), CO815 is a B73G on 11/26. That would match up w/ your 3 rows of F. I'm guessing it was just a co.com glitch that said B752 when it changed from a 733. Enjoy the Dominican Republic

I have noticed that CO shows three rows in BF for flights well into the future--not as close as November! My guess is that the equipment isn't firmed up yet.
