Quoting OD-BWH (Thread starter): Has anyone been onboard MEA's A321's recently? Did they retrofit them with the new interiors?
So far, only one of the six A321s, F-ORMI, has been repainted in the new colors, and as far as I know, it still has the original interiors.
MEA is planning to refurbish the interiors of the A321s soon, but I'm not sure when. The main goal of the refurbishment is to bring AVOD to all classes like on their new A320s and A330s, so it is primarily an IFE upgrade. I am not sure if the seats will be replaced entirely.
Quoting OD-BWH (Thread starter): How about the A320's? Do they have the same Ceder (business) class as on the A330's?
The A320s have the same Cedar Class seats as the A321s. However, the Economy Class seats are the same as the A330s.
If you want lie-flat seats, you'll have to fly on the A330s.

A321's interior refurbished with same colors (seats, carpet, curtain , etc) as new A332/A320's. IFE in J upgraded to Full AVOD. Exterior paint should be completed on the remaining 5 A321s before Summer 2010.

What about IFE in Y?
The A320s and A330s have full AVOD in both J and Y.
