[QUOTE=david870mdg;12389628]What's all the fuss about a window on a 737?
For me it's not the best of experience to tear a neck muscle trying to see out of an already cramped seat below chest level through a round hole.
PLus having two additional people peering over to hope for a glimpse..../QUOTE]
Absolutely personal choice, agreed. I was just trying to warn anyone who might have an issue .... like me for example. Personally, I prefer an aisle seat however I must admit I steer well clear of this row as I find the lack of light somehow claustrophobic.
Might be why seatguru etc paint these seats yellow and I was just trying to disseminate that information.

For me, window seats are good because nobody is going to disturb you if they want to get up, yet you do not have to be sandwiched between two other people to get that. And I don't really care that much about whether there is actually a window. It's undisturbed sleep that I want.

I am in the same boat with QF26 AKL-MEL next week (I have whinged about it a number of times in recent weeks 
). Do you know if OLCI will be possible in that situation? I'm travelling Y and I shudder at the thought of being forced into a middle seat by all those folk checking in at LAX!
PS. 734?? Luxury! Mine is a 733!

Quickly changed to 7C but after I confirmed I realised I hadn't checked for the (unlikely) availability of exits. And I can't go back and redo it. Anyway, glad I OLCI'ed in this instance.

Jetconnect is receiving 3new 73H this year to be based in AKL. They will all feature AVOD. ZK-ZQA is in service now, I believe it is currently doing MEL-AKL-BNE-AKL-MEL.

One aircraft ops 116/115 and 126/125 daily while the other moves through SYD and MEL in conjunction with pilot overnight and day trip patterns to ensure there are no hiccups with aircraft positioning due to a flgiht crew not being trained.
