644 has returned with the new cabin.
527 has returned but has not entered service yet, so I can't verify yet.

586 has arrived at SAL.

We'll have to see. N516JB has been at LCQ for 10 days now.

With N527JL confirmed, that makes 30 aircraft flying with the new cabins, 20 in Phase 1, and 10 in Phase 2.

Looks like it was not due for mods. It returned yesterday and is in service today, not modified.

31 planes done, almost a 1 in 4 chance you'll get one on your next flight.

A lot of cities are starting to get these planes in September. LAS, LGB, SLC even! What a time to be alive.

N768JB is finally back from LCQ after 42 days and will enter service on FLL-UIO. There is an A320 scheduled to go to LCQ as flight 6425, but no flight plan has been filed yet. The next one to return should be N643JB which should be any day now as SAL tends to do the conversions a little faster than LCQ.

N584JB went to LCQ from FLL today.

N643JB is due to return from SAL today (to FLL), but is delayed at the moment.

I know the refurbished A320 doesn't have windows in row 27. Does anybody know about row 26? I'm on a couple of these this weekend.
