Qantas A330 Best seats

[Ansett]

Hi Flying on QF A330-200 with the 28 J seat and 243 Y config are seats 23 J and K good seats or too close to the bulkhead and limited leg space for a flight MEL-CNS.

Many thanks

My friend who is over 6 feet tall was thankful for what he described to be excellent advice I gave him to change his seat selection from row 23 to row 24 on his recent BNE-AKL flight...

FWIW I am P1 not real tall and choose R24 (A/B or J/K) over R23 when I travel solo or with one other. I also hope that when I am to travel in R24 SST/ VIP come to my rescue and put me in the better part of the aircraft however this is never guaranteed.

Agree with avoiding row 23 on Qantas A330's.

Agree with avoiding row 24 23 on Qantas A330's for flights over 2 hours.

Row 23?

Row 23?

Correct ... edited...

We tend to go 2A and 3A.

Personally, I like row 23 (window), as no one can push their seatback into your face, and I find it to be a little more private in the corner there.

Helps that I'm not particularly tall though...

Agreed! I didn’t know that A330 had such high row numbers!

Armrest doesn't lift though...

Row 0 is good.

Depends on your personal preference, do you need to stretch your legs on a flight of that length? Do you prefer not having people recline into you? Do you like having a bag under the seat in front of you for easy access? Do you care if the armrest is fixed? That will help answer if a bulkhead row is a good choice for you

Indeed ... but sometimes you just gotta do what ya gotta do ...

FWIW, in the last fortnight I have had four cancelled flights where I had allocated 1A, 2A, 2A and 2K.

If seating is in double digits, I'll endeavour to go row 23 window for flights under 2 hours.

I feel your pain, serfty.
Have two 1A bookings about to be cancelled, and four following on, looking very shaky.

I think it all comes down to whether you like to be able to stretch your legs straight or not. For me, I'll take bulkhead for a day time flight (I'm only 5'10) but if overnight and I want to sleep, my legs need to be straight.

Row 0 is good.

While I hear the view is great, the wine service is lacking.

Just be aware that might be turfed onto a JQ A320 or a swappy to a QF B737.
