No luck with shadow unfortunately. The check-in counter suggested moving to a bulkhead bassinet (a seat I couldn't self-select online) and told me there was a soft block on the seat next to me - "last to be filled" as they called it - but that it was expected to be a full flight.
Sure enough, not a single seat free in either cabin. The seat next to me has been taken by QF staff (likely on standby leisure) who is lovely and so far very patient with my struggles flying solo with an 18 month old.
While the J upgrade or a shadow would've been nice, I'm glad they suggested the bassinet as I've finally managed to get the kid to sleep in one for the FIRST TIME EVER.
Likely her last time in the bassinet too due to weight/size.

Service otherwise excellent on all counts. I've been welcomed and thanked for my loyalty about 5 times, and am typing this having eaten my meal before anyone near me has even been served.
