Thanks Matt.
I strongly agree with the seat pitch. As someone with long legs, I found that it was difficult to sit in a comfortable position when the person in front reclines.
However, that doesn't bother me as much as the cradle design of the footrest. I physically cannot fit into the cradle, as my foot hits the bottom of the net before my calves can rest on the footrest cushion. This meant that the footrest was essentially useless when trying to sleep!
Anecdotal and potentially confirmation bias, but I feel like I get better sleep on the 787 Y seats, as I can actually use the foot-net on those.
Other than that, I do think that Qantas' PE product is pretty good value as a middle-ground between Y and J. If only they start flying those to Asia (which IMO are the most "value" routes for Y+, as the flights are short enough that J may not be necessary!)
