The reconfigured A332 comes in two versions, one is distinguishable by the 4th row being behind the galley and doesn't use the B/E Diamond seats. The second reconfigured A332 version uses the B/E Diamond seats and is not distinguishable from the seat map. For updated info, refer to the wiki on this thread.

No, this is the first 3-class A330-300 to be reconfigured. Some of the 2-class A330-300 have already been reconfigured such A7-AEN, AEM, AEG.

Currently they have 9 Refurbished A330-200s and 6 non-refurbished. Two non-refurbished will leave, leaving only four. If the current pace of refurbishment continues, then there should be no more angled seats by April 2016. The past 30 flights to HKG all but 2 had flat seats.

Ok that sounds promising and good for my chances!

BTW would anyone find a website with the A333 30J/265Y new seat plan layout to post? even QR own website does not have. I have a FCO-DOH flight 110 coming up showing 265Y on KVS which might predict new layout (#J stays same).
