Qantas Economy Plus Launching Feb 2026

[downgraded]

Which cabin, how many on the booking and how far out?

Seeing “Window / Aisle” is common if there are less free/not blocked seats available for all PAX based on status.

One pax in J. Only doing one leg in each direction (SIN-LHR) which is perhaps the reason...???

When is this travel?

So not related to Y+.

But the J seats taken by peeps only doing SYD-SIN should be in play for SIN-LHR unless SYD-LHR is heavily booked.

When is this travel?

This is usually the main factor for Window/Aisle. A week or two out, it’s not uncommon to see this (even for a solo PAX).

As Gold, there are a lot of seats blocked that could be free.

EF will give you a good idea how full it is.

Are you sure? You have to actually select one to see the $35 fee.

Well, that’s what I’m seeing on domestic runs but it’s now confusing showing all extra legroom seats as Green and $0 but if I try and select and Exit Row seat, it shows $35.

Not sure if it’s changed again but my next SYD-MEL (return) with old Y config down and new Y+ back is showing $35 for Exit Row (and Row 4 not accessible) down.

BUT, the Y+ config is indeed showing all available forward Y+ seats AND Exit Row seats as all $0 as WP. Row 4 is blocked as is Row 5 again - presumably until T-80 or shorter?

Curious if WPs travelling with an NB have to pay for the NB to sit with them in Y+?
