When did they shrink the seats on the 737? Very squishy on qf418 this morning.

Yep always use seat guru. There is so many configs of planes handy to work out your seating

Looked it up and found it very hard to work out what plane we are going on ??

Looked up timetable, but the plane "type" they list doesn't match up with the list on seat guru ?

We are flying with Virgin Australia, but operated by Delta airlines..

We are right up the arse end in the row with only 2 seats ( instead of 3 )...not on the dunny side...but hoping I can get some leg room towards the aisle ??

If we get to the airport early enough, I will still ask for an exit seat........but I still don't like the airlines attitude toward the customer....mainly that seeing as you are all sheep, you just take what we give you..... >:D

As far as turning up early and asking for an exit seat, does that apply for domestic flights in America as well ??

Mate US domestic airlines are the pits. Have you booked your flights? Sometimes you can get a good deal on first class, don't get to excited it's a far cry from even business class but the seats can be wider. Also make sure you log your relevant FF number with the airline, you can make good on points, delta will allocate points to Virgin etc.

Fwiw I just returned from LA and bidded for an upgrade with virgin.  I bought premium economy return SYD LAX SYD for $2150 and bidded $1200 on the return leg for an upgrade and got it. So that was $1200 one way PE and $2400 return to sleep for 7 hrs of the 14 hr flight, laying flat, and spend the other 7 stretched out Awesome. So it's acheivable.

As a bonus I returned on the last day of Feb, and all my points expired on 1st March. But I just made Platinum with a few points to spare  ;D so that's platinum with Vermin and Qaintass  :cheers:  :cheers:

I just don't want to have my legs jammed against the seat in front if I can somehow snag an exit seat !

I might start flying BA ;D

http://www.news.com.au/travel/travel-updates/woman-strips-performs-mile-high-sex-act/story-e6frfq80-1227272561627

Passengers on a British Airways flight this week got a whole lot more than they bargained for when a woman decided to heat up the skies. 
 
The 46-year-old woman, who was allegedly drunk, disrupted the Jamaica to London flight by stripping and exposing herself to everyone on board.

She then proceeded to perform a solo sex act, according to a witness.

Flew for this first time in ages this week.
Port Macquarie to Brisbane via ATR 72.
Window seat, vacant seat alongside - nice.
Brisbane to Cairns, Virgin again 737.
Aisle seat, screaming & seat kicking two year old behind - not nice.
Cairns to Coen by Skytrans.
Out to the plane expecting their Dash 8, only 8 passengers so getting some space shouldn't be a problem.
Arrive at plane to find it's shrunk to around King Air size. Turns out the Dash 8 was in the open when the hail storm hit Chinchilla and is looking a bit secondhand.
Ah well at least everyone gets a window seat

Tonight it happened, I was minding my own business in an aisle seat half asleep waiting for take off, I then hear the words 'Excuse me, I need to get in there'. I look up and there it is, the yeti's mother. I thought in my head, there's no way you're going to fit in that seat, and then it was done, she squeezed in like a rubber duck being sucked down a bath plug hole. As I was standing in the aisle, I could feel all the other passengers' eyes on me, they were all thinking 'thank fark that's not me'. I had to look on the bright side lucky it was only CBR-MEL and not PER-MEL :'(
