I can confirm that 3AB was blocked off as crew rest. It's the only part of the J cabin where the fixed curtain has been installed - I'll take Betrouwbaar's word on it (hah) that there are extra vents too.
Overall I thought it was a nice plane, though I can't understand why KLM would install such out of date J seats when the market has gone to fully flat about a decade ago. That's obviously a wider question than the 330 itself.

Pete you sure it was a month old? The last -200 has the new(er) seats, as will the 2013 deliveries. The -300s have the new(er) seats as well. If 3ab was blocked and there were 2 business cabins, you were on a -200...the -300 has a single cabin rows 1-5....

Interesting - I was just going on what the Steward told me. Has KLM done a refit of the 200 recently? Maybe that's what he was referring to when he said it was a month old.
