VH-VXR returned to service yesterday as the first refurbished 737-838 as 12/162 configuration.

Has Sydney maintenance started work on refurbishing any B737s? The second VH-VXB is being refurbished in Brisbane from the 25th August.

Was it VZM? VZL-S were delivered with new seats and entertainment but no BSi. The only aircraft to undergo any modifications under this reconfig program so far are VXR and VXQ

Yeah, I didn't think the refit included screens & in-seat power either? Zac is VXQ done or still going?

It was definitely not VXM.

Wrong again. It was either XZM or VZM. Both of those have the interior you describe.

VXQ is still in. There may be others getting done, however the seatmap on the QF website has VXQ and R listed against the 12/162 config
