BA6043 CPT-JNB was on a 738 with 24F. Nothing better than being in the middle seat in F when your knees are up against the seat in front of you. Y with a choice of hot meal with wine was perfectly fine for a 1h 45m wheels up, wheels down flight.

I flew SYD-HKG on QF A330 in Y and decided to move to a seat on the isle of the middle 4. Once selected, the other three seats were blocked off. I had 4 seats, four blankets & 4 pillows all to myself. No Krug needed for my Y lie-flat. It did appear that available seats for selection were being shown dynamically.
