There are a few airlines where the numbers start in the teens for J then jump a dozen or so for economy. While many of us fly at least yearly, I know of many people for whom an international flight would be a lifetime treat. I think looking at seat numbers, and even ogling the J seats is pretty fair.

There is a vast difference between a typical AFFer and Joe Pleb on their first o/s holiday.

To borrow a phrase “match fit” is very much in the eye of the beholder

I remember QF domestic planes in the 90s maybe that jumped from row 10 or so to 23 where Y started. Never knew why.

Never knew why.

Perhaps so that international and domestic seat numbers were consistent for class of cabin.

It was row 11 for Business, 23 for Economy.in the 90's.

Was 767s used for domestic sectors.

Was to try and give some consistency for the international fleet, with a standardised number for the first row of economy across aircraft types. Although even then it wasn’t particularly consistent

The 767s for a while started at row 23 (first row of business) and economy at 45. But they changed that a bit later in to business starting at row 1. I guess a few folk were a bit surprised to see such a high number for business class?

It was row 11 for Business, 23 for Economy.in the 90's.

1994 business class started at row 24 in the 767-300/200 and economy in row 41 & 45 for the 300/200.

By 1999 business was standard at row 1 in both the domestic and international versions, with economy staring at row 23.
