I flew one in late October, BNE-MEL. I had been booked on a later flight but due to expected weather, Qantas had implemented "Flow Forwarding". I was able to snaffle front row economy.



I took an image of Business seating:

I can only imagine that Matt didn't go for an extra legroom seat (free for him), because AFF wanted to publish a review that was relevant to the average flyer.

That was probably mh understanding as well. I've been foiled now twice trying to take the 321XLR in Y. Once got a comp upgrade to J. Once my driver decided he wanted me to miss my flight. Time to try and find some more 321 flights.

The following comment from the article is interesting…

the Qantas A321XLR Economy Class seats are about an inch wider than on Qantas’ Boeing 737-800. This made a noticeable difference, which the passenger seated beside me also commented on.​

That’s the complete opposite of many comments - including mine - in the dedicated A321XLR thread here in AFF.

Somehow… dunno how… these seats seem narrower than their 737 counterparts… and certainly not as wide as a320 seats we’ve normally come to expect!
