Let alone the fact that unless in the front row, the seat spacing is hardly 'premium'.With a headline price of >$6k I'm not surprised they'd have a few empty seats in PE.

I am wondering how long it will take Qantas to realize that the 787 economy seats are a mistake and move to fix them.

They won't fix them. I'm surprised that there haven't more negative reviews on the 17 hour flight.I am wondering how long it will take Qantas to realize that the 787 economy seats are a mistake and move to fix them.
Aren't they? How would QF know ? Have they ever asked?A very long time given its the standard, and pax aren't going to pay 10% higher fares
They could do something like AAs "Main Cabin Extra" and set up the 5 economy rows in front of door 3 (the mini Y cabin behind premium economy) with 8 across and keep the rest at 9 across.Aren't they? How would QF know ? Have they ever asked?
I've completed QF surveys where they ask if I'd pay more to earn status credits, for wifi, for food, or pay less to do without. They've never asked if or how much extra I'd pay for more space.
Flew on QF10 from LHR-PER in Y last month.
Luckily between my partner and I had 3 seats between 2 of us, but definitely not comfortable if there was a 3rd person sat.
Won't be taking the chance and flying on a QF 787 in Y again
Well, have just done QF9 in Y, first time on a 787, and I have to say it wasn't what I expected after all the negativity.And so continues the uniformly negative reviews of the QF787 in Y. What a disaster this could turn out to be for QF. After all, one of the reasons people are willing to pay a bit more for Y in QF than other carriers is the perceived 'premium' experience. No more.
Looking forward to the report afterwards!Completely agree with all of the posts about biased reviews, How is it expected one would write an unbiased review when they are given a free flight?. Reading this post now has me slightly PO that I've booked a return trip to LHR through PER. Kind of wish I didn't now!

Ryan you could buy a comfort additional seat or hope the load is light on your flights. You may be able to get the comfort seat for about $1,200.
With a comfort seat you only pay the base fare.Was the $1,200 figure close or was it more like $2,000?
