OT: Daily Mail claims that QF F is like the Starship Enterprise
It must be a slow news day at the Daily Mail.

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't that first photo with the central seating area just a marketing setup? And it features different seats to the other pictures.
Furthermore they say "Quantas" in the page title in the Internet browser.
In other news, Pope is not Buddhist.

The first picture is part of the mock-up at the interiors showroom in TLS.
Things like this make me laugh... Because you know that somewhere, someone is going to book a QF F seat, expecting to see that, because the Daily Mail said that is what they were going to get... And will be sorely disappointed.

People that book QF F seats for cash probably do not read the Mail. 
They really must be dumb, as that area does not actually exist...?
The central area (pictured top) is provided for flyers to stretch their legs and sit down for a drink.

Every day is a slow news day in that loathsome rag. However if you want chronic misreporting. low level tittle tattle and a pandering to middle class fears then this is the paper for you. Am surprised Qantas first hasn't been linked with falling house prices and a surge in unwanted immigration

At least BA is able to advertise its OW partners for free in the papers it provides.
