Seat assignments are going to be a real mess for a long time. With 42 ac to convert this will takes years. Just booked for september on MIA/LIA LA2467 and LA2462. It was very strange, the seating map shows 18 seats in 3 rows of J, but not matter what flight I selected there are always 2 seats showing blocked for 1j and 2d. Anyone know why??

From my tracking on Flight Radar doesn’t seem likely at the moment as I have seen there 787-9 only go to MAD then the short flight to FRA then back to MAD before going back to SCL. Not sure if any 787-9 will be retrofitted before the 767 and 777’s

Edit - there is I believe only one 787-9 with the new seats. I will have a few shots in May at new seats on 767’s and one on the 789

I have an upcoming flight LAX-LIM in March and noticed that almost all of the 2477 flights in February were operated with reconfigured aircraft, yet none of March flights are showing the new seat map on expert flyer.
Anyone know if this is likely to change? Also, why is the seat map on my flight missing the two seats in the last row?

Correct, JFK-GYE GYE-LIM, LIM-GYE, GYE-JFK effective 3/28 and onwards (as far as June is when I stopped looking) is all in the NEW config. and from 3/15 to 3/28 the old config is only listed as running twice. (Murphy's Law) I'm scheduled on one of the 2 days that the old config. is scheduled. (If I had to guess that's when one of the refurbed version is coming back from OMAA and they have to get it into the rotation)
