Qantas Economy Plus Discussion

[elanshin]

Interesting my a330 MEL-SIN flight is selling economy plus. Is it standard now across the 330 fleet?

The Qantas website has shown only Economy Plus configs for the 332s and 333s for a couple of weeks

On the A321 is an exit row economy plus seat better or worse than the two economy plus rows behind it? Especially for a window seat? Any difference?

Downside of exit rows are lack of a good window and an entertainment system that you can’t use for ~10-20 minutes . Minor things compensated by the additional legroom. I find now with y+ the extra few inches makes the tradeoff less appealing. I’m 6’3 and find y+ fits me well. Perhaps an overnight flight back to Aus I would choose the exit row, but any other flight y+ would now be my preference.

Just another data point to confirm the emerging pattern that WP can pick row 4 (or 6 on A321) for free somewhere around T-10. I haven't worked out yet exactly when, but 3/3 flights in the past week where row 4 seats were unoccupied went from $$ to blocked to free either side of OLCI opening.

Curious whether this perk/quirk extends to SG too seeing as SG used to be able to get row 4 at T-80 much of the time.

So the exit rows have a higher seat pitch than the economy plus rows directly behind them?

It can depend on the version of the 321, and also the side of the aircraft: QF Airbus A321XLR Seat Map | AeroLOPA, QF Airbus A321XLR Seat Map | AeroLOPA

Assume starboard side three toilet config?
