ALL QF's 330's to get lay flight Business seating - Including Domestic
Qantas Previews New A330 and B717 interiors
Interesting - ALL 30 330's will get this - both those generally used for Domestic and those for international.
Obviously the Coast-to-Coast competition with VA is hotting up!
So both those generally used for Domestic and those for international.

Looks pretty swish!
I found this bit interesting:
"Uniquely, the seats can be in recline position for take off and landing,
maximising the opportunity for rest."

Being able to sit in the reclined position for takeoff is the case for the Air NZ 772/77W biz seats as well.
I wonder if the 1-2-1 conguration will mean fewer biz seats?

You would probably find on the International Config, it will be around the same. As the seats are likely to be staggered, eg 1A seat next to the Window table next to the aisle, 2A seat next to the aisle table next to the window.

Considering that these aircraft will be used on Asia flights it is disappointing no Y+. Given the low count of Dom 330 aircraft I wonder why QF doesn't just reconfig every plane to a common fitout and just put one or two rows of Y+ in using the old J seats (since they are essentially the same). QF could easily sell Y+ on PER transcon flights.

This looks very impressive indeed - and I would love the product to roll out across more international aircraft eventually!
