Different 73H configurations
I recently (past week) flew SYD-BNE and BNE-SYD both on aircraft designated 73H. On the SYD-BNE flight the space between the rows was significantly (at least > 3cm) greater than on the BNE-SYD flight. Is this possible - obviously yes but the variation is sufficient to push me onto Qantas for future domestic travel.

On SYD-BNE it was row 22 C/D then BNE-SYD in row 30 C/D (Last row by choice for quicker disembarkation via rear stairs). Can't figure it out as both aircraft seemed the same.

Well I am 6'8" so I tend to notice these things, and I have never been aware of difference in the legroom on the 737's. I haven't sat in the last row, however... Maybe there's something up with that?
There has been one aircraft I sat in that had severely reduced legroom in row 3 (the bulkhead), but it's never happened again. There could be a single rogue plane out there I guess?? I fly 3-4 times per week, mainly 737's.
In any event, moral of the story is no, there's no difference except maybe on one plane.

Thanks for the input - I'm sure it wasn't my imagination but then?? I only fly domestic a couple of times per year usually in Y (can't justify J on short flights). I don't have status or affinity with either Virgin on Qantas but usually pick Virgin as I get lounge access via by AmEx Platinum card.
