Bassinet questions J A330-300

[rubyroo]

Hello,

We have our first o/s trip with our 7-month-old coming up. Flying QF25/26 in J and have some questions about the bassinets. In the few pictures I can find, the Qantas J bassinets look somewhat like torture chambers! We have a dream baby who is a great sleeper however I am wondering if anyone has tips for making the bassinet a conducive sleeping environment? or any photos would be appreciated.

Thanks so much!

While it’s has been a few years since this has been a concern for me, the design of the bassinets would be geared towards safety over comfort. Having said that and from experience, kids under two seem to travel well and I am sure your dream run will continue with the addition of (your) comfortable bedding.

Happy flighting.

Welcome to AFF, our daughter is well past bassinet age or size but from memory they are not large and even when we booked the bassinet seats we tended to let her sleep with us taking turns. Our daughter was a good sleeper and IME the crew will normally help out in any way possible to make your flight as comfortable as possible.
