I bought direct business reward seats from Melbourne to Denpasar a couple of months ago as they've been using A330-300's with the new 1-2-1 upgraded seats. I booked flight GA719 and selected individual side seats in the new configuration. I checked yesterday and Garuda has changed back to an plane with the old crummy seats and layout. In fact, doing a search throughout the year, it looks like all direct flights to and from MEL-DPS have have had the aircraft switched out for the old ones. Anyone else noticed this?

I guess the 2-2-2 config still beats the competition's cradle seats, so they can play around with the 330 configs they use.
