No-one suggested 5D/G ...

kaz was asking about 5DG and whether someone would get seated in between.

Seems they were allocated a DG combo.

...
Now, I'll have to do another seat change as currently we are in a row of 3, seats D & G with seat F in between us.
...

My suggestion is DF or FG & I'd go for row 5.

All the A/K seat are gone currently, non of the D/F/G seats are allocated.

As a drinker I don't get non-drinkers! No j/k - the fact that we are all different is one of the great features of life. I thoroughly enjoy meeting and chatting to strangers over a drink or two - everybody has a story to tell and again every story is different.
Jeez I hope so - and I hope they still have that fabulous print on toilet walls - and I really hope one day they will serve King Island only cheese platter so as to promote a fabulous unique Australian business. Anybody here seriously suggest a better cheese platter than Surprise Bay Cheddar, Roaring Forties Blue and Cape Wickham Double Brie or Phoques Cove Camembert?

Ok, this is not relevant to anything really, but I so much loved Cruiser Elite's admission of enjoying a glass or two at 37,000 feet - I just had to tell my story!

I am not a huge drinker, (mostly beer, wine and spirits), but I will sometimes indulge in a champagne or seven when the opportunity presents. I once boarded a flight home from Hawaii - alone after a long week of working on site (stay with me folks...) anyway I was gifted a business class seat home to Sydney from my company and so I found myself seated right in front of the bar on a Continental DC10 (I think).
My choice was, to stay in my seat, or join others at the bar. I decided on the latter. Suffice to say, I met some fabulous travellers from all walks of life, each with their own reason for being on a plane that day. It was a remarkable introduction to some lovely people and probably would not have happened if I had chosen to abstain from the, er Sky Pub.

Thanks Serfty
I changed my allocated seats in row 3 to 1 HK around noon today. Although I was really keen on row 5 my +1 was not keen on that row at all.

Thanks to all for the input, greatly appreciated

The curtains are the reason why he didn't want Row 5.

Each to their own ... that one of the main reason I like it ... sad to see it go with the new configuration.

First time I took my mum on VA J she refused to let me put us in row 5, so we stuck with 1A/C. Second time I did it on the sly and she loved it....so I too will be sad to see it gone. Was very cozy (except for all the PE/Y pax filing past on boarding, each making jokes about swapping seats ).

Does anyone know if Economy seats have been re-aligned for the new fit out? I have booked a extra legroom 26G for a flight next week but if i get on the newly fitted plane it seems as if the seats are different.

A source informed me the economy seats are being done (but you will miss out). After the current aircraft which is in for business refit, the following three will have the entire cabin refitted. Then the first two will go in again for economy seating refit.
