TomBeckCruise Posted August 2, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 2, 2018 My understanding is that they are going from a 3-3-3 configuration to 3-4-3, and the width of their seats is going from about 18.5" to 17.2". We are booked on a flight ORD-HKG next March based on 3 across. I have 2 seats in the middle section. Is that section likely to be 4 across by March? Will the change be to all economy seats?

cruising cockroach Posted August 3, 2018 #2 Share Posted August 3, 2018 You have to look at the schedule for the densification. Rows near the back where the fuselage tapers in may be too narrow to add additional seats but it'll take a long time to disembark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbgd Posted August 3, 2018 #3 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Cathay Pacific are well known, as in notorious, for last minute aircraft substitutions. Although it was a few years ago now I had three flights in a row where from booking up until online check-in the seatmap showed one configuration and then on the day of departure we were handed notices at the check-in desk apologizing for the old seats being onboard. They still do it to this day though... I would recommend picking seats around a preference that would work equally on both aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, they change a lot in my experience (and I have a lot of experience with them). My most recent unexpected change was about two months ago - they swapped out the seating chart for my MEL-HKG flight about one week before departure.
