747 Questions

[james1]

Some background for your amusement....

Traveling in Y from SYD to LAX end of this month. Originally seated upstairs, purchased exit seats 35J/K in reconfigured A380. Seats lost with aircraft change (to an original A380) so requested and given two bulkhead seats, 51J/K.

Bumped from these seats a month later (bassinet required) so asked and given prime bulkhead seats 66D/E. Yesterday noticed the fun not quite over and we are now heading across the Pacific in a 4 class 747!

With great trepidation I made my 3rd call to allocate seating and the lovely Qantas lady (with some great amusement and empathy at my story) happily allocated 40B/C. She even joked that my next aircraft change may indeed be to a prop.

My questions:

1. Does row 40 have a cutout into the bulkhead in front?
2. Is the AVOD system the same as the A380?
3. Are there any in-seat power outlets in economy?

Thanks in advance.

James.

1. Don't know.
2. No the non refurbs, ie have the older Rockwell system, A380 and upgrades have Panasonic.
3. No.

Many thanks. Will need to load up the devices with power and movies!

The Rockwell system still has a fair amount of content and is quite decent, when it works!

I would place no faith in the Rockwell system.

I flew QF107 with this same plane last week in 40A. There is indeed a cut-out and the legroom is very good.
