I wish I could board early but always on standby......  And neatly always in a middle seat if in economy
Scarps interesting as to the significant change in seat room obviously the one with heaps wasn't one of the 737 so was it an airbus or 767 I'll miss the 767 when their gone
I  originally thought exit but there's a bag under the seat in front.

The seat pitch varies between the later 737 and the earlier ones.  (Later less) unless you get one of the QANTAS ZK ones (NZ registered)

Yep I like the 767s. Only thing crap is there small luggage compartment.

Their seats must recline more than any plane I've ever been on...

"On another flight, one of my colleagues was working diligently on his laptop when the seat in front of him flew back. The seat back hit so hard it shattered his laptop computer screen. The glass actually broke. He had to buy a new computer. The woman who was the recliner never even noticed."

Im off to Java in May and it's business class all the way! The bed is better than my one at home.......Free booze in the Qantas lounge( could be the only one drinking at 6am though)! Complimentary PJ's. Might try and snavel a smooch off an airhostess on the way over......I'm so rock'n roll.
Look for me....I will be the bloke in boardies looking like a scozza! :cheers:

I have seen results of this happening, as they recline the seat the catch that holds the tray in the upright position catches on the top of the screen. The feet of the laptop stick to the table and the weakest point in the chain is the housing around the laptop screen which gives way. Had two cases of this at the last place I worked and both the guys were high enough in the company that they needn't have lied to us about how it got damaged. Infact one of the guys was always completely honest about damage to IT equipment, he had lots of expereince telling us how everything he touched broke from drowning phones in sinks, to running over laptops left beside cars etc...

The cracks in Q might be starting to show.  Plane no.1 - mechanical problems.  Moved to another gate with another plane and ready to take off, captain announces, "apologies folks, but the left engine has an oil leak and the ground crew are just measuring the drips.
If more than 9 drips in 60seconds, no fly.  Less than 9 drips in 60 seconds good to go.

So we went.

Bit like my old Kingswood 6.

OMG, finally saw 2 passengers being told today that their 3 items of carry on are not permitted. They had to go back to the service desk and check at least one in.
Bit hard for them to argue when there's 100 people waiting in line to board.
You go Qantas - well done!

Fair enough. It 5h1t5 me to tears the hide people have taking some of these oversize bags on board. More tears when the checkin staff "don't see" them. Too scared.

Nah, I like the middle section, the seat companions are usually better looking and not middle age business men.
