Hello,

I believe VBY had new business class added in Christchurch recently along with VH-VBZ.

I wonder why VBY is being repainted at TSV, when the others were done at Christchurch... !?

If anyone has a "heads up" on when VBY is due into TSV it will be very much appreciated.

Does anyone have knowledge about when the next batch of new 737-800s will arrive?

The registrations VH-YFG, VH-YFI, VH-YFL, VH-YIF & VH-YIG have all been allocated.

Some deliveries have been out of order - as VH-YFH & VH-YFK are in operation.

thanks.

Does anyone know why they only show rows 1 and 2 on seatmaps before skipping to 4 when you check-in online?

Also the seatmap for my flight tomorrow is showing a 737-700 with row 1A/C missing, does this mean I have VH-VBZ (DJ871 btw)

Any update on when VBY is due to head to TSV for the paint job?

If it arrives in daylight hours I would like to head out to the airport and get a last picture of this great looking aircraft.

the reconfigured 700's will have 6 business class seats ,not 8 as per the 800
1A/C has been taken out leaving 2A/C with HUGE legroom
