4 classes
The SMH is reporting the QF config for the A380 will be 4 cabin classes. I trust this means WHY+ ??

There have been a few articles now casually mentioning the "four" cabins that will be on the A380.
Either the journos are conspiring to mislead everyone, or QF have leaked that there will be 4 cabins which means Y+. It's very successful for BA, so I am not at all surprised if QF follow suit.

For the last 5 years or so, all my WHY trips on the kangaroo route have been in BA WT+. Happy to pay the extra for the extra real estate.

It does not necessarily mean y+ though - it could be a separate lounge on board like Etihad

QF's configuration for the A380 will "supposedly" be 14F/71J/32W/350Y.
More information about the new Y+ cabin will be released later in July (as mentioned in the "Latest Qantas Y+/FF/Fleet News" thread).
QF seem to have a love affair with 14 F seats!

From anecdotal evidence read on FT; BA have found WT+ to be a good revenue earner and are increasing the size cabin. Why only 32?
On the plus side (hopefully) 71J seats may (hopefully) open up award availability to LAX.
Thanks QF NB, you are pretty good at the old info thing.
