Qantas Airways Passenger Seat Tip : 9th March 2008
Economy Class : Boeing 737-800
Exit row seats , usually 13ABC DEF run out fast on domestic QF flights, so it pays to get to check-
in as early as possible. There is loads more legroom here. I got 13F DRWSYD and it made the journey
a lot better.
Qantas Airways Passenger Seat Tip : 19th August 2007
Economy Class : Boeing 737-800
Avoid seat before the exit row - think Row 11 or 12, the seat doesnt recline.
Also row 29 last row seat cannot recline either and sometimes used by unaccompanied minors.
Qantas Airways Passenger Seat Tip : 28th November 2007
Economy Class : Boeing 737-400
If using the web Check in go for Row 12 (Exit Row) as there are almost always a spare couple of
seats available.
Qantas Airways Passenger Seat Tip : 6th August 2007
Economy Class : Boeing 737-800
Row 9 on the 737-800 has no windows on either side. Avoid this row if you want to be able to look out - you will only get a view of the bulkhead. This
can be a good thing if you want to sleep e.g. on an early morning flight, but if you like to look outside the plane, you will not be able to.

Economy Class : Boeing 737-800
This is supposed to be an exception for travelling on QF 075 and 076 PER - SIN via Denpasar, ROW 1 -
3 are using business class seat with 2 - 2 seating instead the normal 3 - 3 configuration on economy
class. you may need to book early for this seat, and it is more comfortable as it gives you more
room
Qantas Airways Passenger Seat Tip : 7th June 2007
Economy Class : Boeing 747-400
Avoid 38A and 38K on Qantas B747-438s if you want a window seat. These seats (in most
configurations) have no window but the wall of the aircraft instead with little or no opportunity to
see out. The result is a remarkably cramped environment
Qantas Airways Passenger Seat Tip : 1st May 2007
Economy Class : A330-300
Seats 28B or 28J can sometimes yield an empty seat beside you because the window seat doesn't have a
window & I guess the airlines don't like to allocate a window-less seat unless the plan is full.
It's good to have an empty seat beside you on a long haul.

Business Class : A330-300
Row 2 is the best. Row 1, particularly 1J & 1K are disturbed a lot during the night with
the toilet and fluro lights right in front.
Qantas Airways Passenger Seat Tip
First Class : Boeing 747-400
In the last Row (4) there are 2 seats with baby basinettes next to them. If not used, they
create a whole lot of extra space to put your clutter in. The disadvantage of sitting in
Row 4 - you are next to the galley and get all the noise and the light (while trying to
sleep).
Qantas Airways Passenger Seat Tip
Business Class : Boeing 747-400
For Business Class on Qantas 747-400's, Row 16.
This is the emergency exit upstairs. There's more room than First Class if you sit
anywhere in row 16.

Business Class : Boeing 747-300
Seats 5E or 5F are in the centre of the nose section and have a fantastic amount of legroom
Qantas Airways Passenger Seat Tip
Business Class : Some 767-300 series
It is worth checking the website for the seating plans for a particular flight. Some
767-300 series, particularly between Sydney & Auckland have 5 abreast Club Class seating,
the old International pitch with plenty of space between the rows The "A" seats are quite
on their own with superb space between seat and window. The remainder seats are 2 abreast
across the cabin.

Economy Class : Boeing 747-300
40H, 40J are right behind business and the crew rest seats, and only a seat row from the
exit area, allowing plenty of room and a more intimate section of the economy cabin. Row 46
is exit row with heaps of leg room. Row 58 is exit row with heaps of leg room, but adjacent
to the galley.
Qantas Airways Passenger Seat Tip
Economy Class : Boeing 747-300
Best seats on emergency exits: 29BC (if available for economy), 46BC/HJ, 58BC/HJ. Good
seats on emergency exits : 46A/K, 58A/K (some less space due to the emergency slide door
mechanism). Note that row 46 is close to the toilets so there is many people moving around
and some bad smell from time to time. Row 58 doesn't have these inconvenient but there is
more vibrations as it is closes to the end of the plane). Other good seats (just after
walls in the middle): 34DEFG, 47DEFG.
