Default Qantas Shanghai-Sydney A330 Query

Hi all.
I’m booked to fly Shanghai-Sydney on QF later this year. The flight is currently scheduled on a A330-200 rather than the normal -300 series. Does anyone know which sort of -200 series aircraft QF would use for this service? I’m really hoping it’s not one of the the two aircraft that have yet to be reconfigured.
Thanks in advance.

Hard to tell this far out of course but looking at the past couple of months when it has been a 200 it has always been the old config (EBG and EBL). They are due for refurbishment sometime soon, can't remember exactly when.

Thanks Adam, fingers crossed it's up-gauged to a -300 or a better -200 config!

I wouldn't pay too much attention to what aircraft you have at present. Suggest you set up a seat alert in Expertflyer, config changes will trigger it.

The A332s operating to PVG during September are 27J config aircraft which are the upgraded A332s.

See below:

Thanks Brad, it doesn't say if these will be completed by September though. Do you know if the economy cabins of the remaining A332's are being updated too? Cheers.
