A.332
 
I have noticed that EBO and EBS are now configured as 27/228 - 255 seats a reduction from 28/243 - 271. They appear to be sold as 27/251 on International flights as 37A 37B 37J 37K (curtains) are crew rest seats. Business get an extra toilet in place of 5K and Y seats are reduced from Rows 23-39 and 44-58 to Rows 23-37 and 45-58.

EBV has also been in maintenance in BNE since 24 July so presume it is going to get the same conversion??

Any comments?

Fred C 25th August 2018 02:52 PM

EBO EBQ EBR EBS EBV will be reconfigured to a long range configuration. There is a tech crew rest being installed adjacent the mid galley area.

Ricky T 25th August 2018 07:03 PM

Assume EBP will also get reconfigured too to make up the fleet of six.

Dave C 26th August 2018 10:32 AM

An internal email last week said that 2 more (EBM/N) will also get the reconfiguration. Making the -200T fleet 8 aircraft.

Wenglock M 26th August 2018 02:29 PM

I wonder if at some point, they will get the newer screens in Y similar to the -300s. The previous generation resistive touchscreens in the -200s are starting to get a little bit long in the tooth given that these -200s will probably be operating on longer sectors than the -300s.

Arguably (and ironically), the domestic -200s with iPads are actually a better experience.

Tom PER 26th August 2018 07:33 PM

After flying several legs recently on the 'regional' A332 including QF71/72 I couldn't agree more, I believe BYO IFE is the way forward.

Also, has anyone actually used the wifi on -EBB?

Guess it makes sense to include these two given they have seatback IFE screens in Y already.

This means QF will eventually have 10 domestic/international short haul configured A332 in 28J/243Y (including EBG which I understand is being upgraded/reconfigured and EBL which will happen next year) in and 8 international long-haul configured A332 in 27J/224Y.

Yes, apologies, this is correct. :D

Dennis McLean 22nd October 2018 08:02 AM

VH EBL has been in "maintenance" in BNE since 2 October, anyone know if it is getting its conversion to 271 seats now??

Dennis McLean 14th November 2018 07:37 AM

EBP is back in service QF51/52 13/14-11 no doubt converted to 27/228 seats.

EBL still in BNE

Jason Carruthers 14th November 2018 06:40 PM

I flew on EBP for QF51 13/11 and I can confirm it is in J27Y228

Christopher Campbell 6th December 2018 07:41 AM

Has EBL also been repainted and had wifi fitted?

Zac M 6th December 2018 02:46 PM

Wifi yes, repaint no. EBB remains the only A332 with wifi activated at this point in time

Christopher Campbell 6th December 2018 02:53 PM

How come they haven’t turned wifi on in the other wifi fitted A322s?

Dennis McLean 7th December 2018 09:53 AM

EBL has finally left maintenance after 2 months and 2 days in BNE, now converted from 235 seats to J28Y243. That only leaves EBG in the "old" config. EBQ has gone in now to be converted to J27Y228. That leaves EBM and N to be done.

Christopher Campbell 12th March 2019 11:57 AM

What’s up with VH-EBE?

Fred C 12th March 2019 06:51 PM

Nothing, except it is having the largest of the 'C' checks. A 'C08". Due out in the next couple of days.

Dennis McLean 15th March 2019 02:40 PM

Back in service today on QF119, BNE/AKL at 08.15

Christopher Campbell 7th April 2019 10:25 AM

Is VH-EBM in BNE for international reconfiguration?

C Patters 7th April 2019 10:58 AM

EBG is going in for its refurbishment around Mid-May so that will mean all A330's will have the upgraded product which is great news!

C Patters 2nd August 2019 08:47 AM

Does anyone know when EBG will be out of the hanger in Brisbane following its refurb & general maintenance?

Dennis McLean 2nd August 2019 03:42 PM

no word yet

Fred C 3rd August 2019 12:26 PM

Should be mid next week all going well.

Max C 8th August 2019 02:23 PM

EBG just finished its test flight and all going well will operate QF767 to PER tonight.

Christopher Campbell 9th August 2019 09:34 AM

Is EBM now in for reconfiguration?

C Patters 9th August 2019 09:55 AM

EBM is already reconfigured so its probably in for some maintenance

Dennis McLean 9th August 2019 10:56 AM

I believe that EBM and EBN are configured at 271 seats. I understood they were going to be the same as EBO, P, Q, R, S and V at 255 seats??

Christopher Campbell 9th August 2019 10:57 AM

I mean into the 27Y 244J configuration

Christopher Campbell 11th August 2019 11:24 AM

reverse the Y and J

Christopher Campbell 29th August 2019 12:06 PM

When is EBM due to finish being reconfigured?

Christopher Campbell 14th September 2019 01:07 PM

VH-EBM has now been converted to 27J 224Y.

The reconfiguration of VH-EBN to 27J 224Y is now the last part of the whole A330 Refurbishment/reconfiguration program

Christopher Campbell 14th October 2019 11:45 AM

When is EBJ due to return to service?

Sean L 16th November 2019 08:14 AM

Just out of interest, I saw VH-EBA operate QF44 CBR-SYD on FlightRadar24. Never seen this happen. Any explanation?

Adam W 16th November 2019 12:12 PM

Sean, QF44 is Denpasar-Sydney. This morning's flight diverted to Canberra.

Sean L 16th November 2019 04:13 PM

Ah, ok. That explains it.

Christopher Campbell 19th December 2019 08:53 PM

Is EBN in BNE for reconfiguration?

Fred C 20th December 2019 12:56 AM

Yes. Also a heavy check.

Dennis McLean 18th January 2020 08:57 AM

EBN has finally been converted. Did a domestic BNE/PER/BNE last night as QF767/652, back in BNE this morning at 06.36am and off to HKG on QF97 at 09.35am

C Patters 20th January 2020 09:46 AM

Does anyone have an update on EBB & when it might be returning to service?

Adam W 20th January 2020 07:40 PM
