Following a number of suggestions, it's time to collate the information you've all learned about "where to be seated" on the Qantas Fleet. This thread will be consolidated into a single post, and any input into the thread would be greatly appreciated as follows:
Title: Aircraft type / No of Classes / Class you're referring to / Seat(s) and
Message: Why you like this seat!
So:
Title: 744 / 2-Class / J / 23D
Message: I like this seat because 23E is likely to be empty, and it allows the use of 2 IFE screens at the same time. Also you'll be one of the first to disembark. (
NM?)
