That has full details on the clubs at CLT with hours.

Anyone surprised that .com thinks 100% of 332s have the new seats?

In a round-about back-handed illogical way it's right. 5 of 5 A332's have the suites. It's the other two that don't.

And, yes, I know that there are 7 in the fleet instead of the 5 shown.

Just checked and my PHL-LHR flight tomorrow was switched to the aircraft with pods in F. ^

This this great! Thank you for the link!

With a 6 hour layover, you might want to consider getting out of the airport. Downtown Charlotte is only a 15 minute cab ride ~$20, or a 25 minute and $1.50 bus ride away. The buses are brand new and drop you right downtown. You could definitely go somewhere decent for lunch and get back in a couple of hours and still have plenty of time to relax in the club.

The club is very nice though. I am sitting in it right now, looking at my plane, which is at D2 - approximately 50 yards away.

I've been watching the progression of 332 flights into and out of SJU. It appears that the "old" 20 seat screen is thrown up on every routing, and then US finalizes the ship that will be used on a route about 48 hours ahead of departure.

The 332 departing on Tuesday had the old 2-2-2 config on the seatmap until last night when it became the 1-2-1 seatmap.

My SJU-PHL flight on Wednesday still shows the 2-2-2 config but, interestingly, the ship that departs PHL to make up my flight has switched to the 1-2-1 config.

We'll see around 2:30 today if the seatmap for my flight switches to the 1-2-1.

IADCAflyer

Yep, as guessed, the seat map flipped to a 1-2-1 at T minus 48:00:00....

^ Enjoy it, they really are great seats.

IADCAflyer

Yah, it'll be my second 332 flight with this config. Will be and interesting contrast. 767 on the way down and 332 on the return.

Whats the chance that the PHL-TLV flight will have the new seats in Aug?

I_Sue_Debt_Collectors

0% because they are all going to be flying CLT-CDG for me.

No really, I dont think there is a way to tell until about 24-48 hours before your flight.

Does the club have a place to store bags if we go into town?

Did a little checking, and here is what I can find on US's heavy metal movements today.

CLT sees at least 7 heavy departures.
CLT-LGW on 333
CLT-FRA on 333
CLT-CDG on 332 (new config)
CLT-SJU 2x 767
CLT-GIG on 767
CLT-HNL on 767

PHL sees at least 12 heavy departures
PHL-LHR on 332 (new config)
PHL-MUC on 332 (old config)
PHL-MAN on 333
PHL-CDG on 332 (new config)
PHL-FRA on 333
PHL-ZRH on 767
PHL-FCO on 333
PHL-MAD on 333
PHL-BCN on 767
PHL-TLV on 332 (OLD config)
PHL-SJU on 332 (new config)
PHL-CUN on 767

US also has PHL to DUB, AMS, and BRU - all 757s (yeech).

If my memory serves me correctly, the PHL-TLV requires two aircraft as there is not sufficient time to run each way and turn the plane in the same day. There is no guarantee that TLV will be a new or old config plane.

US runs one PHL-CLT which is probably a plane coming out of maintenance or one of the European inbound arrivals. US runs one late evening flight from CLT to PHL which is probably one of the 767s from CLT.

Depending on loads and freight, US will sometimes run PHL-SJU as a 333 instead of a 332.

So, I can account for most of the 332s and several of the 333s (except a few)...Where are all the 767s going these days?
