I'm on QF127 SYD to HKG but I've just noticed that the seat map is 1-2-1. Is it possible that they're using a mixture of refurbed and non-refurbed A380s on this route?
Yep. A friend had a refurbed 380 over to HK last week.

Eurobusiness is indeed what it is but we need to remember that especially for BA one aircraft can do up to six sectors easily in a day and the curtain pretty much moves for every flight subject to demand. Flights can be of only 45 minutes duration for the 319s and 320/21s and business demands vary significantly. One aircraft can easily do LHR-LUX-LHR-CDG-LHR-GLA-LHR-EDI-LHR-AMS-LHR in one day. So it makes sense for them not to have a 2-2 biz asthey can easily fill the cabins as is. It's also not unusual for the biz cabin curtain to be away up at row 12 or so and emergency exits even on a 321.:Yep I told my partner about what our inter-Europe narrowbody Business class seats on AY / AF / BA would be like - ie. Economy seats but with the middle seat blocked out - she was like "WTF are you serious?"
I think she was expecting at least QF 737 style seats (ie. wider, more legroom) - which I probably would have expected as well.
But oh well.. it is what it is.
I would have to agree - surprised Qantas can call it business when at best it is a premium economy standard!The 737 business class is a pretty bad joke for us in Perth. It should be half the price of an A320 business class seat.
Lol pretend BusinessQF would be smarter to remove the 12 business class seats and replace them with economy seats with more legroom! Id rather pay for the legroom than those super expensive seats they pretend to be BC
I had this on a recent flight. Was actually quite shocked to look back and see how many rows were business. It impacts the service too as the trolley is pretty much in the aisle for the whole flight and FA's are busy just completing the single meal service. BA must make a killing on these.It's also not unusual for the biz cabin curtain to be away up at row 12 or so and emergency exits even on a 321

It's seriously just a domestic / short haul business product. It's on par with most airline offerings for these kinds of flights throughout the world.Lol pretend Business
I think even worse is that as a pax you "buy" biz ticket expecting a 330 only to find a change to the 737 late in..(happened a lot if not quite so much now from PER to SYD and to MEL. Ironically though for me at least, I always think the 737 on board service is actually better than that provided on the 330. Always had decent service and even BA one world emerald recognition on the 737.I would have to agree - surprised Qantas can call it business when at best it is a premium economy standard!
This determines how much space your seat has and how claustrophobic a seat can feel.
I think very, very few people would consider them better than the current Qantas Thompson Aero seats.
Hi. I initially booked the even row for more privacy, but am now wondering if uneven would be easier for me to get in and out my seat - I am plus size. What is the space between storage shelf and seat in front like?I wish I'd read this before I came back on the 380 - I chose 19k and not only is it further to get to the storage space (would have preferred an even row) but 19K has a blocked storage space because it used for something else. Very annoying
The bulkhead rows (11 & 16) offer more room for your feet when sleeping. If you’re travelling solo, look for a window seat in a row where the seat is directly beside a window (this is every second row, due to the staggered configuration) for more privacy.
It’s not that narrow! And the console is relatively low, so the main pinch point with going to be your legs.Hi.
