How to check what sort of seat: QF J Domestic

[BigKahunaBurger]

Have a PER-SYD (rtn) trip coming up later this month.

Keen understand how to identify whether my J seat will be the new J, the old J or the wanna-be J (the cough ones with the tray over the middle seat).

Any ideas appreciated.

Your seat map.

Thanks. Specifically, what does one have to look for on the seat map to work out which of the three it is?

I think the "cough ones" were only on the 734s and they don't have them any more afaik.

I tend to use Seat Guru: Qantas Flight Information.

Type in your flight details on the home page RHS (middle): Airline Seat Maps, Flights shopping and Flight information- Best Airplane Seats - SeatGuru and see whether it matches with the set map that QF show you

Look for the number of J seats and the configuration of the seats.

Some other clues for the types of seating if faced with a 2+2+2 configuration

Missing 1D = old Jetstar J

A330-300 = Skybed mark 1

A330-200 if missing rows 23 and 24 D-G in economy then J seats are domestic economy J seats

Not sure how many of the A330-200 with Skybed mark 1's remain but a 2+2+2 configuration with a galley between rows 3 and 4 is a Skybed Mark 1 configuration

As mentioned above 1+2+1 is the new layout

The OP is referring to the A332 business product, to which there are 5 possible seat types one may experience, with two of the five being beds, the others are recliners.

How many of them have "the tray over the middle seat" ?

And yet the AFF community continues with helpful responses.

Indeed.

It's disappointing, however, that with every new thread comes the need for a member to peruse each of them to find the answer (the growing number of threads seeking assistance with lounge access, despite their being a dedicated sticky on the very topic, is a case in point).

The poor search feature that the forum's platform offers doesn't help.

Thanks for all of your help - I will take a look at Thread 49 as Danger has suggested.

There's only one type of A330 that has the tray infill in the middle seat - you can tell from the seat map because there's a void between the middle two seats. I think there's three (?) aircraft still flying with that config.

I've just this second spotted that, as I can select a seat a 'D' seat, then it does unfortunately look like this A332 is one of the coughpy ones!

Actually John, there are two types currently as you are forgetting the ex-JQ birds currently in the fleet that also have the middle seat blocked off.
