Have Your Say

Unfortunately no surprise from Qantas with the announcement of seat layout for the 787 Dreamliner, at least not for economy class. 9 abreast like Jetstar as expected. An extra inch of pitch, big deal! Their research says passengers prefer more legroom rather than more shoulder room. Where do they do their research? If a tall passenger hasn’t got the legroom they want, they have another option. Buy a seat in Premium! Their comfort level only affects them. If the seats are too narrow, and a passenger is overweight, obese or just broad shouldered, it not only affects them, but also the passenger sitting beside them. As a passenger who is not tall and not large, I object to the the passenger next to me imposing on my seat space, which I have paid for. I will be choosing my next long haul airline based on seat pitch AND width, and I normally fly Qantas.
