Greetings fellow travellers! I have recently had the opportunity to enjoy Business class on the reconfigured 747s on QF21/22 to/from Narita and on the reconfigured A380 on QF128 from Hong Kong. Needless to say the skybed II is fantastic for sleeping on, and the new sleeper service was a delight on QF22 a week ago! Having read posts both here and on ausbt.com.au I approached my flights dreading the long lines waiting for the toilets. Despite all three flights being short (at least compared to LHR/LAX) I never once waited for a bathroom. I used the toilets at least three times each flight (to change in/out of PJs etc.) and only waited for a minute on one occasion. I also went for a few walks down to the back of the plane, and even on the A380 there was only one person waiting for the toilet shared with PE.
I realise this is purely anecdotal evidence, but from what I have seen Qantas may actually have know what they were doing when they adjusted the seat/toilet ratio. Especially on the 747s its my belief that all of the benefits of the reconfiguration far outweigh any minor toilet inconvenience.
I am travelling SYD/LAX on QF11 and QF 108 in a few months (alas in economy!) and I am keen to see how that compares.
In the mean time has anyone truly experienced an actual wait of more than a minute or so in the J cabins of the reconfigured aircraft?
