Qantas new First Class

First class is at the front of the lower deck, but with the cockpit in front (and slightly elevated) it is not in the nose as with 747. There are 14 seats in 1-2-1 format as shown below.

Code:

1| \   XX  / |
 |\A  | \| K/|
2| \  |\F  / |
 |\A  | \  K/|
3| \  |\F  / |
 |\A  | \  K/|
4| \  |\F  / |
 |\A  | \  K/|
5| \  |\F  / |
 |\A  | \  K/|

Each seat faces forward for take-off and landing, and swivels to the side for dining, using the ottoman or in bed mode. A & F seats swivel left, K seats swivel right.

There are 2 toilets at the front of the cabin, and a galley behind the cabin.

For someone travelling alone, I think the best seats are 5A or 5K (assuming galley noise is not significant) for the improved privacy.

For a couple, no pairs of seats are particularly good. I think the best combination are 4A and 5A because you can then use 5A ottoman for dining or conversing with maximum privacy.

For someone travelling with an infant or young child, I do not think any seats are suitable. Sorry. You may understand when I explain more about the seat in the next post.
