These flights are operated by AY crew. Or do you mean QF flights to India?It'll be from the same group of aircraft that operates BNE-LAX. I'm assuming they're operated by Jetconnect crew.

Oh QF pillows... that doesn't sound good. I feel like you really need the 2x large pillows to use the AirLounge product comfortably.It’s an odd mix. The mattress pad is QF from the Business suites. It doesn’t fit the AY bed. Pillows are also QF, so no bigger memory foam ones like they have on AY.
Must be too confusing at the QF linen and laundry department to have the 'other' stuff in the mix!Oh QF pillows... that doesn't sound good. I feel like you really need the 2x large pillows to use the AirLounge product comfortably.
Bigger is BA-tter!IME I found BA has the largest (proper bed sized) pillows in J much bigger see below
Well much more comfy and conducive to a good sleep for sure.Bigger is BA-tter!

Just a shame BA don’t use mattress toppersWhat am I missing? The AY pillows when i flew them in August were not particularly large (and not memory foam) and the AY mattress toper doesn't attach (it needs velco or something to keep it in place), but yes the QF topper wouldn't work because of the weird angles and no ability to hook it over the top of the seat given the design.

Huh? Definitely a cover for the seat included with the duvet when Ive flown them in J
And that pastry "thing" is probably the worst I've ever tasted. Not worth waking up for. I thought the service after departure was a bit slow (wanted a drink) so went in search. Apart from that it was a good AY service with QF food.Flew SIN-SYD on QF292 earlier this week. Being based in Finland I'm very familiar with Finnair. Such an odd experience being on a Finnair plane and landing in Sydney. Pity the pilot only spoke in English with a Finnish accent. I would have liked to hear his announcements in Finnish as well!
I was in economy this time so here's how it was for me (I had just transferred from QF2 A380 from LHR):
Pluses: The combination of Qantas content on the Finnair base for the IFE works really well - and the screen is nice and sharp and responds well to your touch.
Singapore based Finnair crew were very good. There was also at least one flight attendant from Qantas. Should have taken a photo of the tea/coffee service with a Finnair uniformed crew member at one end and a Qantas uniform at the other!
Plane is recently refurbished and spotlessly clean. The Finnair blue/white colour scheme with red Qantas blankets reminded me of Aeroflot - red white and blue interior! Big white Qantas pillows too, better than the small ones Finnair usually have.
Some of the Finnair Y seats are so called comfort seats which have extra legroom. On this aircraft they are the first 6 rows in the centre.
Minuses: The seat cushion is too short, no under-thigh support. It does make it easier to get in and out and gives the illusion of better legroom, but is uncomfortable for longer flights.
Meal service times were wrong. Dinner served two hours out of Singapore, and then breakfast which was just a pastry thing in a cardboard box was served just as we crossed into the Northern Territory, 4:30 am Sydney time with 2.5 hours flight time to go. Didn't appreciate the wake up and all the lights being turned fully on at this time. Normally Qantas serves breakfast 1 hour before Sydney on the QF2 and QF82 services.
Does anyone know if these seats can be selected or assigned?Some of the Finnair Y seats are so called comfort seats which have extra legroom. On this aircraft they are the first 6 rows in the centre.
I had no issues selecting recently but in the end got upgraded to PE so can’t report back on how much roomier they are.Does anyone know if these seats can be selected or assigned?
I'll have to try closer to departure, those rows were blocked out for me as a gold.I had no issues selecting recently but in the end got upgraded to PE so can’t report back on how much roomier they are.
PE cabin is very small, quiet and generally pleasant. I didn’t eat as I’d managed six courses in the Flounge before hand so can’t vouch for the food but the crew seemed friendly.
Look on EF to see if they’re taken or just blocked. They might open at T-80.I'll have to try closer to departure, those rows were blocked out for me as a gold.
Flew SIN-SYD QF292 last week. I was expecting the seat to be like oysters - either love it or hate it but I’m probably somewhere in between. I like the seat and was comfy watching some tv and eating. Sleeping mode was generally ok but as others have pointed out, the main fail is that second seatbelt. Just uncomfortable. I used the main belt to avoid ending up in the o/h locker (in the unlikely event of severe turbulence). The QF mattress topper was fine if you just lie it flat on the horizontal surface.Shrek flew to SIN on the AY bird earlier this week.
It’s an odd mix. The mattress pad is QF from the Business suites. It doesn’t fit the AY bed. Pillows are also QF, so no bigger memory foam ones like they have on AY.
QF menu and amenity kit.
The crew were friendly but made themselves scare pretty quickly. The F&B service was rushed (as is not uncommon on the later flight back to Oz) but I never saw a wine bottle, serves and refills just came in a glass.He thought the crew were excellent!!
Yes, you can. I had luck in earlier years as a QF Gold on AY flights but perhaps they've "enhanced" the offering recently (an OWE / QF Plat can select).Does anyone know if these seats can be selected or assigned?
