I realise this is slightly OT but I witnessed some truly horrific foot behaviour on my recent Air Asia X experience KUL to MEL. One elderly lady to the aisle seat across from me with her foot propped up on the row in front's aisle arm rest. And then her elderly friend in the aisle seat in...

Just as a follow-up, the seat map updated at OLCI opening a few days ago to show the expected 3-3-3-3 layout in Y. We grabbed one of the "honeymoon" seats when it narrows to 2-3-2 towards the rear - thankfully didn't have to pay a seat selection fee again.

9A in Zone 1! #iykyk 😳

+ 1 for this advice just this morning

Has the new Armani mattress topper found its way onboard yet? Was due to be "later in 2023".

They used to have the 789 out of MEL. Have J booked in the 777 pre-Xmas. Know it won't be as good, but was able to get 2 x reward seats via VA, and obviously better than Y. We get the 388 from AUH to LHR so there is a silver lining!

Oh the devil, the devil! :eek:;)😂

Ooh, I'll check my Dec departure MEL-AUH too! Pleasingly already on the 388 AUH-LHR ☺️ Edit: Still 77W unfortunately and extra 25 mins on the stopover in AUH.

https://www.bosshunting.com.au/travel/fly/etihad-business-class-review-777-787-a350/ That article gives a handy overview of current J product across the fleet. Like you, I've only done the 789 and 388 on Etihad, both the 'Business Studio'. (Yes, the new product is coming to new 789s but no...

Hi Ray, the plethora of posts here about current J rewards availability (particularly Australia to Europe) would suggest that 3 x J rewards will be very, very difficult. I've only ever seen 2 x seats. If you see them, book them. Good luck.

I suspect the seat map on which we can choose seats is not correct. It goes all the way back to Row 67! A bit annoying, having paid for seats at time of booking. Hopefully when check-in opens, the map is correct and Rows 44 and beyond are still available for those few rows of 2-3-2.

Flying MEL-KUL in October on AirAsiaX (D7 219). All the seat maps suggest that the A330 has a 3-3-3 configuration in Y, but the seat map we selected seats on the airline website had 2-4-2. Anyone have any intel on this? Are they flying a new A330 neo version now?

The many examples in this thread would suggest that a bid $5 or $10 above the minimum is often accepted (if there is availability). Given that route is predominantly leisure traffic, I'd be only bidding a small amount over the minimum.

It does though...? The app shows you, and online it shows how many credits you're losing and how many you'll therefore need to achieve at certain dates.

First flight out of Melbourne yesterday to ADL. Scheduled 0710 departure. Cabin manager arrived at about 650 (after boarding was due to commence). Gate agent on PA says "due to late arrival of cabin manager, we will be boarding in groups, rear to front". When boarding commences the usual...

Might help them to drop their prices then. Perth to east coast not getting any discount love at the moment.

J rewards from the east coast to Perth and vice versa are like hen's teeth at the moment. Demand far outstripping supply.

Phantom inventory is a real thing with VA rewards seats, particularly with international partner airline J rewards seats, as many posts in other threads (and personal experience) will attest!

Stop it. Please no. 😭🤣
