I asked the Swiss agent about the refits when I called requesting seats. The only thing they know (or are willing to say) is that the first bird goes in for refit in early March and it will take 10 days to refit each one.

So it all depends on how quickly they rotate them out of service to refit and then which routes are their focus for providing the new seats...

I would assume as long as not all A343s are refited you will not have a constant desgination of aircraft....However the more aircraft that will be refited the higher your chances will be

I will be flying ZRH-HKG Christmas Eve and was wondering if anyone has actually moved from F to C just to try out the New Biz from the Older First on this route. I'm confirmed in F but the bells and whistles of the new C seat intrigue me.
