Seat selector QF

[boeing747]

Hi all,

First timer here

I have booked SYD - DFW to fly 2nd March on QF - Y class and paid the additional $25 per seat to select (couple travelling)

Looks like most leg room seats are filled and only a few shows up , except for the mid seats in 66 (J and B) which costs $180, not side by side. Checked upper deck but only PE it seems there.

I have selected 75 J & K thinking window seat will have bit more space to lean on the wall during sleep. I copied below the screenshots of other available seating.

Given the hours in flight, Suggestions/reviews for seats are helpful & appreciated

Welcome to AFF boeing747

Can't help you directly, sorry, but this thread might be worth a browse.

Also, others might tell you when 'better' seats open up for various status levels in QFF. Do you have any status?

Thanks RooFlyer.

Am on the basic Bronze status. Doing a couple of trips in-between so may hit Silver by March. Don't think it will give me any boost though.

Will wait & see what fellow members might suggest

AS a Silver I can see seats in rows 54/55 which while not necessarily better than 75, are closer to the exit.

Worth checking back regularly in the final few days to see what might open up, as even a chance of an upstairs pair becoming available (forget row 36, as the three centre seats there are horrible) but at present 33J/K are not allocated. Would be a nice two-seater with side bins, way better than a three seater downstairs.

The seats in 75 are no better or worse than the other downstairs non-exit row seats. No side bins, but if you manage to keep the aisle seat free that will help.

Thanks OATEK, will keep checking. Would be lucky if i can get hold of the 33 J, K

There are Economy seats on the upper deck, but I don't believe they're open to Bronze just yet (try 80 hours before departure; I see 33J/K available at present, but the only other 2-together seats are in the middle).

Short of getting on the upper deck, they're all much of a muchness (as the good seats are already taken such as 80A and 71D). Personally i'd go for an aisle and middle in the 4 just so I wasn't climbing over a stranger to go for a walk/use the facilities, but it's personal preference.

This is the current seat allocation map, as seen for a Platinum.

We did the same flight about a month ago in row 74 A and C . My Daughter had D,E,F and G to herself . The flight was only about 75 % full in economy and so we had plenty of room . It was the best long distance flight I have had in years and I think the seats you picked should be fine . The crew said that the flight was always full at the pointy end but not in economy relative to the LAX flight . Our side was near the end with the section of food so we did not get a choice but we got what we wanted anyway.
