Qantas new Premium Economy Class

Premium economy class is at the rear of the upper deck, and thus slow to disembark. There are 32 seats in 2-3-2 format as shown below.

Code:

34|AB DEF JK|
35|AB DEF JK|
36|AB DEF JK|
37|-- DEF --|
dr>emer exit<dr
38|__ DEF   |
39| T DEF JK|  (The JK seats are numbered 38 not 39.)
  | T       |
  | galleys |
  |      X  |

The seat is wider than premium economy on Air NZ, but offers less legroom. The armrests are fixed and contain the tray table.

There are 2 toilets at the rear of the cabin, a better pax : toilet ratio than business class. The galleys are at the back.

My impression was the set of 3 seats has less legroom than the outer pairs of seats. 39DEF look particularly nasty - less legroom and right next to the lavs, with the galley in behind. 38 JK have an enormous amount of legroom, but may have a problem with overhead bin space being so close to the emergency exit (sorry I forgot to check - this was where I caught up briefly with eoinnz).
