My husband and I are travelling to the US in a couple of weeks time and have tickets in economy on the Qantas A380. We're quietly hoping for one of those phone calls two days before the flight offering us a points upgrade as our fare type won't let us apply for it online. However, if we don't get an offer for an upgrade we will need to sit through 16hrs of economy seating - boo.
There are three cabins in the A380 - front section is rows 50-64, middle section is rows 66-77, back section is rows 79-88.
We are currently seated in row 68 both ways, I moved us back from the front section in the hope we might secure a row of three between the two of us. Less than two weeks out from our flight, the cabin is looking pretty empty so hopefully we will get the three seats between us to stretch out.
Originally the back section looked like it was full, but a few seats have now opened up and I was wondering if this might be a better cabin to sit in as there are less rows so less traffic during the flight? Drawbacks would be the fact that you are last off the plane and potentialy at the back of a long line at customs.
Has anyone got any thoughts on the best section of economy on the A380?
