Qantas "Comfort Row" DFW

[patrickk]

So how do QF ensure you get that Empty row? No doubt another passenger who might be next to a beefy individual, would eye out the empty seats and assume they could move into that seat.

They will give you a boarding pass that says so; and the coin crew would explain.

I believe It’s the middle row of 4 and they give you a receipt to say you have the row of 4. However they are not going to move passengers to specially create a row of 4. It is not always offered on QF8 and never heard it offered on QF7

but how to do you stop other passengers from leaping into your row after take-off if you don't want to sleep straight away?

Man spreading plus fill up the seats with your stuff

AirNZ would use antimacassars to denote such seating. I'm not sure about QF.

I imagine this is the most practical solution, but can also guarantee there will be passengars who ignore them.

I feel enforcement by the cabin crew is the only feasible solution, and for this they would need to:
a) know which passengers this applies to
b) know which seats this applies to
c) be bothered to actually adhere to a rule/regulation set by QF.


Do you see the weakest link in the above?

Is there some form of plane plan which identifies which armrests go up ?
I have purchased comfort seats in the past and at least once had the issue the arm rest didn't go up

I just learnt a new word!!!

The ground staff print a 2nd batch of boarding passes for those that buy a comfort row and give this to the crew, so they know who has paid and what seats you were given.

The A380 armrests do not stay up by design.

Do any planes armrests stay up ?

Referring to Qantas' aircraft:

The 787 was designed with this is mind and they are flush with the seat when raised. The A330 arm rests also stay up too I believe.

Been on many a 737 where they stay up. Not sure which specific models.

More to do with the class, seat and carrier than the plane I suspect.

Sometimes - I have experienced both.

Most will go up, some not all the way. A few will not 'stay up'.
