ALL QF's 330's to get lay flat Business seating - Including Domestic

[kpro]

A332's and A333's in International config (Skybed) have Rockwell Collins eTES entertainment, rather than Panasonic.

Draft two with changes as suggested.

The Skybed 332's do not have row 23 DEFG from memory, it is only the ex-JQ 332's at this stage.

There are also two JQ configs, one with 1D and one without.

 

[Sprucegoose]

The mattress can be used from gate to gate on the A330.

Interesting I was told to put mine away last Dec. has there been a change of policy?

I was told it was a safety issue

The two JQ configs are no more. The config with 1D is solely within the QF fleet.


Also EBM/N have been left of that list.

Gotcha, thanks.

I think the gate to gate may only apply to the new J suites. I have always had the mattress removed for landing for Skybed 1 and 2.

the leather doesnt get sweaty....you do!! ...and thousands of travellers seem to manage with leather seating (without sweating) across many airlines (including domestic) in all classes over many flight lengths... so i suggest if you despise leather seating that much even after an hour or so.....drive in your cloth seated car or catch a cloth seated train or bus!! at least on any QF domestic J/C (and Y/C if you ask) you can get a blanket to use as a seat covering......VA take note!!

There's passion for you.

So, serfty sweats but thousands of travellers don't. OK. ... Sounds like serfty is the normal one out of that lot.

I do drive my cloth seated car and use cloth seated public transport. Your point being?

Leather is fine for short trips but beyond that ( eg 5 to 12 hours) it's not as comfortable as cloth covering, but it's easier to clean. Is that such a controversial thing?

I can confirm that. I had put the mattress on before pushback on a flight less than a week ago. Was told that they could not be put on until after take-off due to safety regulations and they had to be removed prior to landing. However, they'll be allowed from gate to gate with the new suites.

Draft three.

seats 23 & 24 DEFG do not exist on this plane
J seating is a recliner

I think the suggestion is the
A330-300s introduced from 1/15 (not 12/14) and will have combination cloth/leather seats and be used for (all/mostly) international services
A330-200s introduced from 12/14 and will have all leather seats and be used for domestic services

A330-300s will also get new Y Recaro seats (like A380) with footnet and shared power
A330-220s just Q-streaming

Really? Another variation? What's this aircraft's discerning feature of the same aircraft with Skybed Mk I?

Check the exit row numbers. The seat map is EBM/N.

With the return of the JQ 332's, there will be 5 different variations of the 332's when the suites come on line.

Goes off to cut head off with blunt fork, since that seems infinitely more fun and achievable than understanding the QF seat maps for the next 2 years :sigh:.

It's nothing new unfortunately. Both the 767's and 747's had a number of different seat maps whilst they were the mainstay of the fleet.

Oh sweet Mother . . .

This is gonna do my head in.

Leave some fork for me.

Re your -200 assumptions, I think you are reading specific details into what was a rather generic and non specific press release. Seeing how they are using -200's more than before on international routes coupled with changes that will see more A330's needed for international there is no way -200's will be domestic only. I think you will see the current 4 international units and the current domestic -200's with fixed seat IFE brought up to the same standard as the -300's. The older -200's (including those returned from JQ) will see Q streaming only.
