With all the airlines flying at close to full capacity these days there is no way for a tall person to be comfortable in these seats. I can usually sleep anywhere but for the two long haul flights was not able to get any sleep at all. Also, while the in-seat entertainment is a nice feature it comes at the expense of leg room as Qantas put a hefty box under the aisle seat to accommodate this which leaves no room for legs to even spread out. I would consider myself pretty fit and agile but once that seat in front reclined there is no easy way to get out of my seat leaving me trapped for the duration of the 12+ hour flight. Prisoners get more space.

Qantas economy seating on their narrow body fleet are terrible. Very cramped especially when seat in front of you is reclined!! Impossible for anyone in the same row to get out without others having to stand up.

Row 27, the second of two rows between Business Class & first set of Economy class toilets, stairs to upper deck on 2-class B747-400. Knee room is minimal which is made even worse by the video boxes under the aisle seats of the middle section, causing close to zero legroom. The only positive item of this row is that the wall is behind you therefore you can keep your seat reclined for the 23 (+/-) hour flight FRA-SYD. Row 55 on the return flight was much better.

On the older style Boeing 747-400 you would never wanted to be seated in the aisle seat directly opposite the galley. To makes matters worse if you score an Inflight Entertainment box infront of your seat you can forget moving your legs. At 6ft 2 I found this the most uncomfortable 9 hours. You are constantly disturbed by crew and other passengers. You get hit with food carts etc. There is just no opportunity to sleep. Avoid these seats.

A truly appalling seat. Seat had collapsed and it groaned with every body movement (very enjoyable on a 14 hour flight). Qantas does little to cater for economy passengers. My family occupied the seats either side (A&C) and the condition and serviceability of their seats was scarcely better than mine (B). It is effectively impossible to move from the seats without the occupant of the neighbouring seat having to stand up. With seats in front in recline hell begins.

Row 5 is located behind the business class, superb leg room, in excess of 38". Unable to see tv monitors, but supplied with personal DVD player.

We were seated behind the bulkhead, so it made for a little extra legroom. Video screen was of a "pull out of armrest" type, which made for multiple viewing angles. Seat was of standard economy type - fairly typical width and padding.

Was very surprised to find poor seat pitch of 30 when they advertise 32. The seats seemed to be much closer than usual and not as comfortable as those I have sat in when flying on Virgin Blue. Disappointing seat availability when you pay Qantas premium price. I requested an emergency exit seat but they told me that they were not available, yet remained empty during the flight

Qantas new slim-line seats are a big improvement, very comfortable and back supporting

The dated 737 seats weren't all that bad, although, when we first boarded the plane I had the window seat. As the TVs are down the aisle it was quite difficult to see a TV from that seat. Later, when I swapped for a middle seat, the view was much better.

Flew last week Sydney-Adelaide-Sydney and the seat pitch has definitely gotten worse. There is more legroom on a government bus these days and the less said about the "catering" the better.
