qf108 and A330-200 questions
I have searched on both topics and not found the answers, so my apologies if I am repeating. Two questions:
1.Does QF provide pyjamas on QF108 in F from jfk to lax?
2. I just noticed my flights between SYD and PER in Nov switched from 743 to A330-200. Will this be skybeds (in biz)? I called QF and they were completely bewildered by the question.
Thanks.

1. Of course, all F flights include PJs. Normally they are handed out ex-LAX, so you will have to request it (some crew will offer it if you are a through pax).
2. Yes. You could have found this out quite easily from the QF web site, which has an excellent section on airplane seating -- wish all airlines were this good! http://www.qantas.com.au/info/flying...aft/seatMap332

That should improve the reliability of the flight meaning less stress with conections. A new plane, nice and quiet, SkyBeds - what more could you want!

Incorrect. The A330-200s that will be dedicated to PER-SYD/MEL services will be fitted with Millennium seats and not Skybeds. I see no problem with SansStatus posting such a question as the information posted on Qantas.com is incomplete and confusing (what's new). You're more likely to get an accurate answer by posting on FT than calling QF, especially when it comes to matters regarding product.

One of those times you actually want there to be a delay in delivering new aircraft!

Well, you will get the new plane and the nice and quiet. As the famous philosopher Meatloaf once said "Don't be sad, cause two out of three ain't bad"

Somehow, I tink I'd prefer a SkyBed and just put up with a bit more noise or even an old worn out plane. Ear plugs are your friend!

While I understand that, I do think that skybeds are possibly a bit of overkill on domestic flights. I would have thought that the three abreast seating in the centre would have been more of an issue!

No but you are losing dreamtime seat with PTV in favour of the millenium seat - which to me is a downgrade.

Well, granted the PTV thing is a downgrade across the whole aircraft. I wonder if we will ever see PTV's on the domestic flights. Notwithstanding you have to pay extra for it, DJ is a bit ahead in this area.

I won't rant about the pitiful 'meals' or overcrowded QP as that's been done to death. But i did think domestic IFE is one area where QF lags atm. Of course intra-Europe most carriers give you nothing at all, but that's probably preferable to seeing Deborah Hutton's face all the time...
