Qantas' New A321XLR

For some reason it reminds me of the Windows 98 fish screensaver

Yeah - it's pretty hideous TBH

While I was hoping for something akin to Nalanji Dreaming, I don't mind it considering:
- It was apparently designed by kids with disabilities, and
- It's a livery promoting the Great Barrier Reef Foundation and QF's previous such liveries tend to be a bit basic (e.g. VH-VXO Sharing the Spirit, VH-VZO Prostate Cancer Foundation). Probably easy to remove if the partnership ends.

Yeah seems more designed for easy removal down the track without requiring a full strip and paint.

First flight on the 321 in J, very surprised that a regular backpack has no chance of fitting under either seat in front, at least in row 3 D/F.
In my aisle seat, the mount for the seat in front was almost in the middle of the space. In the window seat, Mrs excel's bag looked like it would fit width wise but it was too high when laying on its back to slide forward. Perhaps a slimmer backpack might have fit, but her bag wasn't unreasonably chunky on this trip.

So, both went in the overheads. The new bins on these 321s have plenty of room but it's a (minor) frustration to have to put the bag up and down when I'm used to always having access to it.
