Hi AFF, I have a flight coming up in Y on QF1 SYD > LHR on an a380.

I booked it a while ago and selected 51K and didn't think too much about it. I just realised that I believe this is a bassinet row.

I have questions, I am 180cm, will the wall have a good amount of leg room or uncomfortable amount?

If a baby is seated in the bassinet is there a risk I will be moved/ it will be directly beside me?

Has anyone had an experience with this row, will I be expecting hell on earth if I am trapped next to a baby in a bassinet?

Should I move to another seat?

I'm 185cm and stretching out when reclined is a challenge. That said, it's not a bad seat for a short day flight up to SIN.

Unlikely to be moved, as I believe the aisle and middle seat are set aside, unless the baby's family is a large booking. Getting out of your seat with the bassinet deployed is a whole different story......
