Biz Class Seat Replacement: Progress?
Has anyone heard how it's doing? Specifically, I was wondering about the likelihood of seeing the new seats on the TRATL 767s by next fall.

If you're asking about the 767-300ERs, the likelihood is poor. Other threads have noted that the plans call for conversions of the 777-200ERs and remaining 767-400ERs by start of summer 2011 flying, with the 744s and 767-300ERs maybe a year behind. Completion ~2013.

The 7 767-300ERs used for 12+ hour missions ("76T") are scheduled to have the flat-bed conversion completed by next summer as well. You can definitely find these planes on JFK-AMM and JFK-CAI.

The flatbeds are on the Heathrow JFK 767, or at least the one I took recently.

Anyone have information on the 744s?

I have an MSP-NRT trip this month and again in April...

+1 for the 744 question -- have JFK-NRT coming up in January.

You guys are probably better switching into the triple-7 ATL-NRT if you can.

As a redneck friend once said, that dog don't hunt.

I don't think the 744s will go into mods until Fall 2011, so you're probably out of luck. As baccarat0809 suggested, if you want lie-flat seats, take the 77L from ATL-NRT.
