I’m starting this thread because I flew on the inaugural QF9 PER LHR and heard comments exchanged between Qantas executives and some journalists on the possibility of seating layouts changing on new delivery’s. But since the new Dreamliner orders have been announced, no update on a new seating layout seems to have been announced.
I’ve done some calculations on the seat count / layout of Qantas’ Boeing 787’s.
Currently 42 J, 28 W, 166 Y (236). Qantas could easily increase the premium cabins with adding 8 F suites OR 12 J suites and 24 W seats, and remove the forward economy section of 42 seats. This would only decrease the current seat count for 6 seats if:
54 J, 52 W, 124 Y (Total 230 seats).
So, let me hear your thoughts and opinions.
