New 3 Class 744 J/W/Y Configuration

[docjames]

Thinking about this - methinks it's simply a current two class with row 26 to 37 having their Y seats stripped and replaced with PE seating.

.

Slightly OT but it would be nice to have some Y+ on the A330s. At least for those doing overnight flights in/out of SE Asia.

The slope on SKI is also very annoying if you are shorter. At 168cm I frequently waken having slipped to the bottom of the seat

Ahh, you need to invest in some velcro underwear to stop the slippage

When Qantas get the current Jetstar A330's back when Jetstar gets the 787 deliveries, perhaps then they might invest in some Y+ for A330 on QF flights

Princess Fiona I had the same problem (I'm even shorter than you) until I discovered the kink method. Simple recline to completely flat/sloped and then move back towards upright a bit until it feels comfy. The slight kink is comfortable for me and also stops the slide I find.

I expect the JQ A332s will remain in a domestic 2-class config and replace 767s on domestic and perhaps TT services.

It will certainly be interesting to see what QAN does with its JQ & QF brands on trascon routes, given today's announcements from DJ. http://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/virgin-blue-velocity/virgin-blue-announcements-26-08-a-25094.html

I would disagree - I'd expect them to be given a domestic J product.

I'm at the other end of the height scale (6'5") but I agree this is the best method - the probem i have if i slide off is my feet hit the floor or the seat in front. The slight kink keeps you in the seat, and is best found by going to maximum, then a small (very small) move back towards upright.

Sorry, was a typo. I meant 2-class just as they were before going to JQ, just with the leather covers reverting back to cloth.
