agree! QF Y (couldn't get a seat on NZ J or QF) was awful, no leg room and dated plane. Also hated how the dimmed the cabin lights for the whole flight which felt really eerie to me!
2 other interesting points -
1. discovered I was OW Emerald, which meant I could use a separate first class section of the QF lounge in AKL - it felt more crowded than the other area though!
2. Guy behind me in Y - must have been a platinum 1.. was asked for drink preferences on take off and given a standard/full bottle of red near the end of the flight!
