Latest I heard from hflight.net is that one 7443 (HS-TGR) is being retrofitted with new economy class seats and AVOD in Y. F and C remain the unchanged.
One 7442 (HS-TGX) is also not seen in the past week. If it is being retrofitted, it should come back with all new seats in all classes. Hope this is the case.

HS-TGX is a 7443, so if that bird is in for a retrofit I guess it would be for economy only... The 6 7442s are HS-TGA/TGB/TGF/TGG/TGY/TGZ

Do you guys know what routes those planes fly? Or would you be able to guide me to where I would be able to find out? I'm going to be doing FRA-BKK, BKK-HKG and would like to know if my planes are refurbished.....obviously the FRA-BKK flight is the one I want PTV's the most.

Should show you routes recently flown by HS-TGR...shows nothing at the moment mind you. If other aircraft are refitted substitute the reg in the URL e.g. for HS-TGX

From flight24.com it seems that HS-TNA (340-600) is in for maintenance as well.
Anyone know if they will do anything to the cabin configuration on the 340`s now, or will TG wait until later before they refurbish them?
