VH OQJ - A380 - Broken seats - 3K and 5A?

[love_the_life]

A bit of a long shot, but over on FB, a poster has said that the electrical are not working (broken for want of a better word) for these two F seats so that they cannot be adjusted. Anyone have any information on what the issue could be or has experience of whether this is the case? Interested as have an upcoming flight to SIN and Flightradar is showing this as the aircraft that has been doing the run recently. TIA.

Seats were never out of service for all that long. As long as the parts are available, I’d expect them to be fixed at the next transit through London or Sydney. If they aren’t working then they’ll be removed from sale, though you could still stick staff into them.

IME F seats break often. As JB747, on two occasions my broken seat was occupied on board by a staff member.

Didn't bother or affect me other than being in a different window seat.

Thank you both for your replies. Will play it by ear, as F cabin is pretty heavily booked when we are travelling and I think we have selected 3K for one leg.
