Reports on Hard product upgrades
 

Maybe we should start monitoring indications of the "new" J seats being installed? I just got changed seats maps on flights.

I am now getting "new" J seat config for plane type "A340-300"

I also had a A330-booking turn into "new" config today, but that could be equipment swap.

Yes, that is new C with 45 seats.

So which A340 is out of the loop right now?
(I know OH-LTO is hiding somewhere, but all of LQB-LQE seems to be flying more or less)

That A340 -map, which day is it?

LTO is in Dresden.

A340 is in late may and early june, can PM you details. It was showing as normal seat map a few days ago. I have a A330-300 in early april that swapped seat map during the exact same time frame.

My AY69 in October has changed to new J and showing type 343

I have BKK in December / January and showing old seatmap with 7 rows of C. A340.

AY6 28 February, new J. Yay! AY69 3 March, old J.

It s nice to know that there is a progress. But could someone say which plane are retrofitted and where it most likely goes?

I m need to go to BKK at least twice from June to Oct. and it only shows A340 - is there a chance to get new seats?

If not I probably choose OS.

I have just checked my bookings to BKK in July - not only no new seats, but now looks like the ex-AF birds are doing all the BKK runs!. When I booked (and the reason I booked via BKK) all flights were A330 with new seats. Very disappointing.

You are kidding:mad: So no Platinum status this year:(

I just checked the flights for the first week of June, all on the ex AF planes - what a f***

Does anyone knows if there are days when the ex AF planes are not going to BKK in June, July or August?

My aim is to collect data on when each plane individual is retrofitted. If I succeed, I will keep a log somwhere on FT.
Predicting where they will fly is impossible without inside info from operations.

Just got the information out of Finland, that AY will use only the "old ladies" during the summer to BKK.

At least everybody who is going elsewhere is safe :)

Sorry, but they are not safe. BKK daily 89/90 need only one "old lady". ;) Old Lady #2 is free to SIN, HKG, PVG, HAN and NGO. :D

Just curious but which are the best seats for a single traveller? Even numbered rows on the left or any seat on the right?
