Yes and these reconfigured A330s are turning up on many of the AU runs as well.

Ah, OK, thanks. Good to know and disappointing at the same time.

It would seem the centre seats are 24", the side aisle seats are 25" and the side window seats are 23", from what I can detect.

I threw a quick table together to summarise the seat count/WC count changes after the update. To me the biggest thing it shows is just how efficiently the new seats actually use the space. If we take the -300 international version which is the best like for like comparison, between Doors 1 & 2 they can fit 28 new J suites where 30 sloped Skybeds and were, just 2 less J seats to go fully flat! This same space also has 1 WC in both configs (although it's been moved from the front to back of the cabin).
It would have been interesting if they had have kept an 'International' version of the -200 how many new J would have gone into the space of the current 2 J zones. The change to this config sees a loss of 8 J seats but a gain of 44 Y - I suspect they may well have been able to install 36 new Flat J Suites and still have been able to add a few extra economy seats if they had wanted, which again shows how efficient the new seat design is!
Obviously the seat counts take a hit on the domestic versions but the current J seats in those are really just International premium economy standard!
I can't wait to try out the new J suites - I'm only disappointed there aren't more window seats 'against the window' as opposed to 'against the aisle'. Those true window suites should be super private and will be my first pick!

It is already hard enough to get business class awards on the A333's now unless you book at T-353 days. With premium economy that would make it worse.
Actually looking at post above regarding number of business class seats it is going to be worse anyway.
I don't see the ex J* aircraft here. I am on one next week. What are the current J seats like on these as far as leg room and width- thinking of upgrading.

Millennium seating 2000's standard - pitch is reasonable and seat width is fine.

Because this is the Qantas thread. What a ridiculous and un-constructive post

I'm on QF583 a few days earlier than the scheduled start date and my seat map shows this, not like anything i have seen before. Can anyone explain?

Pretty much standard 2-2-2 seating for all intents and purposes. Not sure if it's one of those JQ converted ones that are 2-3-2 with the middle block in all but the first row, where 2D has extra room.
That's my guess.
