QF J refit - can't work out seat map

[docjames]

I can't work out best seat on this seat map as it doesn't seem to match anything on QF.com.

Help me choose from best available!





Also, on the refit fleet, row 5 J single seat at the side or upstairs exit row seat?

Thanks!

It's not a refit unfortunately. It looks like this config, perhaps with some seats taken for a codeshare.

Exit row at 16 = Mk1 Skybeds.

I'm taking a punt you may be off on a route that they have a codeshare partner I.e JNB.

Cool, snagged 16B but would have liked 16A.

Will probably have to watch the seat map close to departure - how many non-refit are left (paging markis10.....) ?

In the refit aircraft: Opinions on exit row UD vs row 5 (B or J single seat)??

5B and 5J are REALLY hard to beat! The storage compartment is great.

Great seats as long as you don't have a weak bladder

Why? Isn't there aisle access without step over in the exit row?

Only two toilets for the cabin

Good point.

So 16B or 5J?

5J in a heartbeat.

 

[docjames]

Ok, thanks all. Will stick with 5J!

I don't have a weak bladder and I love 5J

 

[legroom]

+1 to this

I "had to" select 16AB as we are travelling as a couple but mind you, the thought of 5B + 5J did cross my mind.

5J in a heartbeat.

 

[docjames]

OK, 5J secured.

16B on the other leg due to old config. (Pray for equipment change).

16A if you can get it - easy to get up even if 16B PAX reclined - side storage and all that ...

Yes but someone has snagged it and JK are blocked for code share.

I love 16A and always tried to get on the old config aircraft.
