I came back from Sydney to Perth yesterday and had seat 1A on an old config 330. A guy sat next to me and said he wouldn't be there long as his wife was in Row 5 and he was hoping to swap. He did and was replaced with a lady who sat next to me. It wasn't any issue for me but I wouldn't have...
Well tell you what Fred ... I would much rather fly to Sydney for a couple of days and then enjoy the luxury of the First Class Lounge before embarking on an international flight. The Qantas International Lounge in Perth (I hate to say this but ...) isn't that speccy!!! LOL.

Well, I hope that Qantas will be able to get some good out of all this. In my past experience though people who FIND REASONS NOT TO DO xx_XX are usually 'glass half empty' types. I try to avoid them, by, more than likely getting on a Qantas flight! LOL!
