MEL/DPS one class? what is it like?
Usually fly the Bangkok TG run, so rarely check this page, so apologies if this is a frequently asked question.
Flying Qantas ao7867 this week to Denpasar, Bali, and only able to locate economy ticket. Whilst i have already booked, was there another airline out of SYD/MEL/ADL, I could have used to obtain business class. As the deed is done, what is the seating/flight/food like- I guess it's only 5 hours. thanks

You are likely to find the aircraft will be fitted with both J and Y seats although strictly they are an all economy airline because AO would cease to exist from July 06 and their fleet integraed back to QF.
The Y seats have a 31" pitch with slimline design so they are not too bad. Sorry I can't comment on the food nor service since I have not flown with AO yet.

AFAIK:
No Qantas 767 is getting SkyBeds or Dreamtime (old tech); Qantas will be installing the "Millenium" seats.

Not even I would dream of seeing a skybed in a 767
