Quick question on the 747 upper deck business. We have 3 people traveling LAX-BNE and have currently picked row 15A, B and J. I saw that 16J and 16K are also currently opened. The QF seat map seems to be showing row 16 has a bit more legroom (an extra window). Can anyone confirmed if that's the case. Row 14 and before are currently all blocked out for elite flyers. Thanks.

A little help? I'm a complete newbie to QF.

I'm travelling on the refreshed 747 (business in the nose) ... I've made my way through this thread and I've been through the thread on the refresh. Can't see specific answers to my questions ...

I've snagged 14A on the upper deck as my seat for now. Seems like a reasonable seat - exit row so easy to get out of.

However, 1A/K is still available and I am tempted to move into one of those seats. I'm a solo traveler. I've done the upper deck a few times on BA ... so that's not a novelty. The front of the plane however ...

The one thing I really can't seem to wrap my head around is how easy it is to move in and out of these seats without disturbing your seat mate.

All the photos I'm seeing would suggest that if you're in 1K - you're blocked in if the person in 1J wants to sleep.

Am I right in that?

Any opinions on this from the perspective of a solo traveller? (I've seen a few posts referring to couples)

Being able to 'look forward' and the privacy and quiet of 1A probably outweighs any (minor) inconvenience. I'd take row 1.

It's fairly easy to step over the other person without disturbing them.

Thanks both - I was sold and I've moved to 1K (having checked sunflight to make sure I'm on the non-sunny side).

No one's moved in next to me yet - but I guess we'll wait and see.

Hi guys,

how is the refurbishment of the international A332/A333 fleet progressing ? Am booked on QF 51 BNE-SIN (May 18) operated by an A332 and QF 98 HGK-BNE (May 30) operated by an A333.

Both flights currently show the refurbished business class layout with the individual suite seats. Just curious how many "old" birds are still around so I can estimate the risk of getting the old layout.

Cheers from Brisbane,

pswissoz

Is there a list anywhere of how many rows are blocked off from seat selection for non-elites?

e.g. Rows 1-4 are blocked on the new config A332.

No, because not only does it vary by aircraft, but it varies by route and time of day. For the "elites" it also varies on status.

If you're Gold, on the B738 rows 1-2 in business and rows 4-10 in economy are blocked until ~T-80.
On the A332 rows 1-4 in business (refurbed) and rows 23-30 in economy (non-refurbed) are blocked.
On the B717 with a business cabin rows 4-10 in economy are blocked.

Thanks, eminere. Looks like it isn't nearly as severe on the 747 and A380. I wonder what happens if the tiny non-elite allocation runs out on a 737 or A330? Do they open up some more, or just make passengers wait until T-80? (I can't imagine pax who pay for J would be happy if it's the latter.)

They make you wait. So on the B738 for instance if all of row 3 has already been selected by other passengers when you purchase your flight you can only indicate a window or aisle preference until T-80.

I was talking about business (rows 1-3) on the B738.

OK, it was not clear.

In which case I select from those options available in rows 2 and/or 3 and wait until T-80. Never have I had only "Window" or "Aisle" options when in Business.
