My seat map for tomorrow mornings flight changed to the old 332 config![]()
An article today said (among other things) a330's will operate all SYD/MEL-PER routes by Christmas.
New global routes on radar - The West Australian
That's a lot of new capacity!

Not if it's coupled with a reduction in frequency. Lose a flight a day and bump up the plane size, any lightly loaded 737s on schedule? They might re-jigg the departure times and lose a flight here and there.

In the old ex EK 332s I have sat in 1A & 2A both with no-one next to me and row 2 has more leg room compared to the bulkhead seat. The seats are very comfortable.I thought I once saw a thread on what was the best seat in the new / old cabins, but I'm not sure where that is any more. Does anyone have any thoughts/opinions?
You are correct. XFA & XFB are the old EK 332sThe new/old A330s - how many are new, how many are old? XFA/B old, XFC/D/E are new? (What are the odds haha)
Yes, the older planes are 2-3-2 where the new ones are 2-2-2Is the most reliable way to tell which variant you're gonna get just the seatmap in the seat selection dialog at T-14 days?
None that I could detect. Its the same front to back as before.On flightradar I spied XFA back in service after the overhaul in KL, and XFB looks to be heading there as VBH9939. Wonder if they made any changes to the interior...
I was in 1A with nobody next to me on one of the new A330s two weeks ago and it was perfect, although the sunglare east-west meant I couldn't see the TV screen unless the window shutters (mine and the one behind me - luckily there was nobody behind me either - load was 4/24) were closed. Plenty of legroom (I am 184cm and my feet couldn't touch the bulkhead even with the seat in full recline) in row 1.Lucky enough to be booked in J to fly SYD-PER-SYD end of next month (26-29 sep, both flights scheduled A330s).
Forgive me if this isn't the wrong place, but a couple of questions.
