EVA Air A330-300 J cabins
Hi all,
I have a flight booked in Sept BR228 KUL-TPE in J on an A330-300.
I'm aware currently EVA have 2 different configurations on the A333, one with angle flat seats and a much nicer looking newer cabin with proper flat beds. Using the online seat selection it seems to indicate currently my flight is on the old angle flat config.
However by checking the flight history on Flightradar it looks like old and new cabins operate the KUL flight with no pattern at all, it looks completely random as to what you get.
Does anyone know if there are plans to convert the last remaining A333's to the new J cabin or how many A333's still have the old cabin? EVA's website seems to indicate 3 old and 6 new but not sure how up to date that info is.
This will be our first time on EVA Air, also very excited to be flying TPE-YYZ back in J as well on the 77W which looks to be an absolutely superb experience!
Many thanks for any info

Thanks for the information hayzel7773.
By checking the registrations you kindly provided looks like only 6 of the last 137 flights of BR228 that used the A333 were on the old config so hopefully the odds are in my favour.
When are the 787's supposed to start line flying?

Two of the 787-9s are arriving in 2018. The other two 787-9s and the first 787-10s should start arriving in 2019.

However, they like to send new planes to HKG and SGN for crew familiarization flights.

Taipei, I was going off info on a couple of reviews I had seen of the new A333 J cabin with the black furnishings and trim, one of which was here:

Certainly seems to indicate the new product is indeed a full flat bed
