QF seat - First or Business? Mk I or Mk II?

[PeteS]

Hi all,

First time poster so be gentle! I'm flying SYD -JNB (QF 63) on 7 Aug in Business. I'm keen to know what sort of seat I'll be in. I've scoured the forums, and there's a little mixed info out there! I am presuming the plane is not refurbished. There are 4 rows in the front section (I'm in seat 4f), so - probably an old bird? Any chance it could be an 'old' F seat? Or is it definitely a J seat Mark I?

Thanks in advance, friends.

Pete

Hi Pete,
Welcome to AFF
I'm not familiar with the type of 747 flying that route but below is the seat map from Expertflyer

If correct this means that you will be seated in a SkybedMark I in a refurbished Zone A 747-400

row 4 exists = "old" Skybed m1

Thanks to you both,

FWIW, 4E/F are the best downstairs seats on these craft.

Thanks, Serfty.

Noticed you said 'best downstairs'. Upstairsd are better if available? One or two might be on QF 64 (return)...

There's lots of room upstairs at the exit row 16

Good to have this re-confirmed. We are currently sitting in 4E/F on the journey back from JNB on 10th August!

And we are in Row 16 heading to JNB on the 27th July!
