Still awaiting aria in PER

My HKG-PER is showing as Aria in 2 weeks on the 77W night flight. Aria has been increasing on the night Perth flight in recent times looking at the regos that have visited.

Maybe a dumb q but how do you see this info? I couldn't check anywhere in my booking that I have later this week, so I tried a dummy booking instead - still nothing, other than it hinted that the config was a 77k and described the seats as "flat bed" and not "private suite". Is the a359 that makes its way down the new aria vs the 300er being the old style?

Have a look at the seat map, j first cabin is 11 rows vs 17, it’s also designated 77J
