24A 24B 24J 24K : for legroom, these are the best seats in the cabin, since they're right behind the

The business class cabin has been reduced in size from 72 to 64 seats, with several of the self-service bars and snack areas axed to free up revenue-earning space for more seats as Qantas continues to face tough competition on international routes.
This will likely be the cabin of choice for travellers on a budget especially if you can grab a window seat, as those come with a deep bin under the window for keeping your laptop, tablet, toiletries and other inflight kit within reach.
Qantas has orders in place for eight more A380s, with two due for 2016-2017 and six more starting from 2018-2019, but the airline has yet to advise if these will share the same configuration as the current superjumbos.
But the new layout sees premium economy sharing the same two toilets cabo travel packages as the bulk of business class, as those loos have been relocated from the front of the larger business class cabin to the rear boundary between business and premium economy.
Many favourite seats of frequent flyers have gone missing in the new configuration, including the business class seats in exit row 24; and in premium economy, row 38 (a middle block of three seats) plus 38J and 38K, which were top picks for their copious legroom beyond the standard 38 inch pitch.
Row 11 : in a three-row mini-cabin at the very front of the upper deck, and away from the traffic heading for the lavatories and galley kitchens behind row 13, these seats are a good bet although they're close to the self-service bar and the business class lounge area, so move further back if absolutely undisturbed sleep is a priority.
cabo travel packages 15A 15B 15J 15K : these are useful seats if privacy's important to you: with no centre pairs, they feel a bit more separate than in the main cabin. Beware that the galley kitchens are right in front of you, though.
24A 24B 24J 24K : for legroom, these are the best seats in the cabin, since they're right behind the emergency exits. Bear in mind that this area is often used by other passengers as an 'inflight stretching zone', and if you're sensitive to the cold you'll want to wrap up warmly in case there's a draught.
24D 24E 24F : the legroom in these seats is curtailed slightly by the bulkhead wall in front, which also contains the only bassinet crib position in premium cabo travel packages economy in front of 24E. We'd still pick it for the ease of getting in and out, though -- even in the middle E seat.
A and K seats : on the upper deck of the A380, there are window bins for each window passenger. That gives you a bit of extra elbow room, space to store your carry-ons, and somewhere cabo travel packages to stash your laptop or tablet if you're watching something during a meal.
D and F seats : if you're an aisle fan, you're best off with one of the middle trio of seats: the middle seats will be the last to fill up, so you might luck out with an empty seat next to you. Even if there is a middle passenger, you should only be bothered half as often if they need to get out, since they could turn left or right to head to the aisle.
I was lucky enough to fly a revamped A380 in May LAX - SYD. Was allocated 36J,K (last row on the upper deck). Although we only flew economy, the revamped upper economy section cabo travel packages was 10 x more relaxing then flying lower deck. The cabin crew on the upper deck looked alot more relaxed and more respondent and to only have 30 odd people in that section made the trip more comfortable, no ques for toilets.
My partner and I also recently chose 36J and 36K when travelling from MEL-LAX. It was a brilliant place to sit when compared to the hundreds crammed in downstairs. Likewise, the cabin crew were relaxed and friendly and there was never a queue for the toilets.
Flew one of these a few months back, also in upstairs economy. A nice little cabin and as David says, get a window cabo travel packages seat and you're set. Only downside is that if somebody in the front row has a baby in the cot the cabin is so small there is no getting away form the noise. Qantas should follow the lead of MAS and make this smaller upstairs economy cabin a 'baby-free zone'.
They were scarce as it were and will definitely decrease the flight expereince. Imagine the queues (as mentioned in the article) for people waiting. Also, I am sure that esp down the back they will not be regularly serviced. Would not want to sit near the lavatories on a long flight, that's for sure!
I agree. I flew MEL - LAX return in business last month. The trip over was on the old configuration and toilets were not an issue. The trip back was on the new configuration and it was crazy trying to get to the toilet for most of the trip. I've always liked the Qantas A380 business service but this annoyed me so much I'm trying Virgin for the first time on next trip.
We're flying MEL to LAX this weekend and purchased PE seats. So disappointed to find row 32 is now economy. I love a bulkhead row as I never have to worry about the person in front spending all their time with the seat reclined. If I'd known, I could have spent a third of the money angled for that seat in economy!
It will be like that and even tougher. I do not believe that marriage with Emirates wise dessision in long term. If I like Emirates, then I can book Emirates - they far cheaper then Qantas and connections usually better, so why bother?
Also there is no wonder that Qantas axing business - for example Singapore and BA (and Emirates for this merit) doing business to LHR for 7K+, while Qantas want 9K+ and I trully fail to see what extra I get for more then $2000. With such approach cabo travel packages I fail to see very bright future for Qantas.
Ha, good pickup. The irony of course is this livery never appeared cabo travel packages on any Qantas A380. The livery modification was done for the A380 so that the legs of the roo on the A380 were not broken as shown in the image.
Qantas management sure know how to ruin a good airline. More available seats is one thing getting people to put up with crowded cramped conditions when they have a choice of airlines like SQ and EK just means they wont fill the seats. I venture that in five years EF will own Qantas International.
interesting decision by Qantas. As a Business passenger if work pays and a PE if I pay, it seems an interesting change. Surely higher numbers only work if the plane fills. squashed passengers with vacant seats doesn't produce the loyalty that a full plane with fewer seats, or so I would have thought...... But my major problem is as a resident of Darwin, I will be looking at being a full time Malaysian business passenger fairly soon!
I agree with what you're cabo travel packages saying. Every time a new 'larger more improved' cabo travel packages aircraft is born we get fed the usual spin.... The new plane will have bowling alley's, swimming pools, cycling tracks....etc, etc. And what do we get? 3-3-3 Elbow crunching 787's. No, I'm cynical.... Tell that to the business class pax on a new BAA380 cabo travel packages in the centre seat travelling backwards!
