Hi all. Hopefully the right thread for this question!

Family and I (2 adults, 4yo and 1yo kids) are booked Melbourne to Hong Kong via Sydney in about 3 weeks. We’re lucky enough to have classic reward business seats.

I’d previously selected a bassinet seat flying the ‘old’ A380 (2-2-2 business layout) Sydney to Hong Kong both ways.

I find out today the outbound leg (QF127) is now the ‘new’ A380 (1-2-1 business layout). Seems everyone agrees new A380 business is much better than old! BUT as part of the change we’re no longer in a bassinet seat on that flight. Seat selection tool shows those seats as unavailable.

Spoke to Qantas but all they could do was lodge bassinet request.
Only QFF silver status. Am I right in thinking there’s nothing to be done? i.e. can keep an eye on seat selection, but no other ways to secure bassinet seat?

Thanks in advance!
