I'm almost 100% positive that you won't have a lie-flat seat.

It's been confirmed that 014 has NOT been retrofit with flat seats. Try to enjoy the flight anyway!

FWIW, first aircraft will be going in for the mod by October.

I think this is the key here...

It won't be until late 2010 or early 2011 I think until we can easily plan our trips around these seats.

This has to be the 4th thread in as many days about lie-flats. Mods, can we please get a sticky?

PVG and NRT routes have not been updated. I saw something about starting in October on the website. My next trip is 30 Sept and 8 Oct. Hopefully October means early October.

I have IAH-NRT-NRT trips coming up in Oct 13 and Nov 24. I hope one of these AC will be retrofitted by then.

again, with CO do NOT expect flat beds to be on ROUTES, just on 1 plane, then 2...they don't dedicated a single plane to a single route.

Welcome to FlyerTalk!

CO does not assign specific airframes to specific routes, unlike some other carriers. They rotate the aircraft through the system to boost the average hours utilized per day.

And that will only be for the 777s. Anybody notice that all other aircraft are now not scheduled to be completed until August 2012??!!

Wow that is going to be a while!
