Is there a list of updated 332? Traveling EBB-BRU on a 332, but not sure if it's a remodeled plane yet or not. Any way to tell?

When are you flying? If I understand correctly, there will not be any 332 upgraded until next year. This is one of the reason why I will probably choose TK over SN for my flight to/from KGL later this year.

Brussels Business Class to Dakar
The website is showing an A330-300 as the aircraft and seatguru claims that all of the business class seats are flat bed style. SN's website also shows that the flat bed style seats are being rolled out to African destinations throughout the year.
Is there any way to know for sure that the BRU-DKR and DKR-BRU flights have been converted to the new business class? If they haven't been, what is the old business class like? I can't seem to find any information on it.
Thanks in advance. Trying to decide between SN, AF, and TP to Dakar.

The A333 are nearly all refitted, the refit will be complete by end of october. The old seat is a cradle seat from the late 90s.

Edit - Oliver already moved the thread, meanwhile
Until all planes are switched there is always a chance of getting old BiZ
TP flies A32S, so you get Euro-BiZ, middle seat empty.
AF IIRC flies 772, lie flat.

OO-SFO is currently in MLA for its upgrade.
Actually the upgrades are performed by Lufthansa Technik in Malta too, it's just the upgrade kits and drawings supplied by MAC. Saves a lot of money instead of transporting a whole shipset of lavatories up and down Europe!!

Is this the last A330-300 for the interior upgrade?
