Flightradar24 web version or theqantassource jet tracker will show you regos (and fitouts) for flights over the last 7 days/ month plus. At the moment nothing is guaranteed

Just flew QF577, SYD-PER. Plane was new configuration in Business. Very nice product. Food and service were top notch. Entertainment system was have problems.
Only advice- if you want to sit next to someone special, get the first 3 rows, for aisle/aisle. Otherwise they don't match up. Mrs BlueZebra had 4E, which was one row in front of me in 4A. And on our 30th wedding anniversary trip!

I was on QF571 last week in Row 3J and my wife was in 3K which looks on the seat map to be side by side across the aisle but was in reality one row behind me.

They would save a lot of time and effort and discontent if they would simply renumber the window seats to be what everyone expects them to be.

I assume you were in 3F ( there is no 3J). They probably don't want to renumber so as to make substitutions between -200 and -300s easier. The seats are more aligned in the -300.

You are right we were originally booked in J&K (was showing old config at the time) but I was actually in F.

Hoping to do an on departure type upgrade with points from econ to biz domestic but will check in the lounge and hopefully they can confirm the configuration (surely once the incoming plane hits the gates it shouldn't change!), otherwise, does anyone know if the arm rests go up on the 4 across? Fingers crossed there's a chance of one or the other given it's a red eye. Is it still the same amount of points to use as classic reward upgrades? (Classic reward upgrades have closed for the flight)

Damn. 3 days out and my QF577 seat map has changed from new config back to old config.
Fingers crossed for a last minute change. (Is anybody from scheduling reading this forum? If you are - a shiny new one for Saturday's 577 would be nice thanks.)

I am on QF61 late Dec and prior to flight time schedule change seat map was show new config and now it is showing old config - I thought the BNE/NRT was guaranteed new config? When I made original booking in May it was old config, so at this point has changed from old to new back to old....

Nothing seems guaranteed the new config, and always need flexibility for last minute changes.
QF61 has had it more often than not - 25 out of last 30 services, and last 9 straight based on Qantas Tracker at theqantassource.com

I have an upcoming flight on the 333. Original seat config was shown as the new version (T-6 months). At T-3 months it swapped to the old config. At T-1 week it swapped to the new config. 
. But of interest, the "auto seating" on first booking was 2EF. We moved to 2K and 3K. Upon change to the old config, I selected window/aisle seats. Then upon reversion to the new config our original 2K and 3K seats were reassigned (even though our profiles say aisle/aisle and we seem to be automatically assigned centre block seats to is satisfy this profile request).
