Hmmm what do you think is the difference between 55K and 55J

55J costs an extra $ 50 USD but 55K doesnt cost anything extra ?

The first row, by the door & the galley only has two seats, aisle and middle. So whoever gets the WINDOW seat in the second row has no-one in front of them.
As its not an exit row you can't pay extra and book it, but you can get on line and reserve it (not a guarantee but :fingerscrossed: ) You then get extra legroom, and can get in and out that way without climbing over people. You also get that extra bit of space by the window :thumbup:

Probably the door protrudes into the leg space so it's not extra legroom like it looks on the seatmap. OK if you know the person and 55J and don't mind playing footsie, otherwise not the best exit row seat.

I do recall that little seat on the A380. Just went on QF website and reserved it for my trip next week. Thanks for the reminder.

More legroom (not yards or anything but enough to make a difference), lockers at the window seats meant we could put stuff away and not be surrounded with crap for the whole flight and yes, you get your food quicker! Plus there are fewer passengers so i felt we got a far better service generally.

I actually liked the gap between the seat and the window because I was able to pile it up with pillows, wedge myself in there (not fully you understand, I'm no pixie...) and actually get some sleep.

We went with Singapore, highly recommend them :thumbsup:

That was the only downside I found, other than that it's a standard economy Singapore Air experience, about as good as it gets for the money I'd imagine.

No idea how nice it was in Melbourne 30 minutes ago, I guess it's changed by now anyway :p

There's only 450 seats on a QF A380. They must've put an extra deck on yours!

Other than The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) asking for twenty Airbus A380s to undergo checks for cracks in their wings and certain Rolls Royce engines exploding on takeoff I would say space in economy class is the least of your concerns :rofl:

Its better than the lower deck less noise and only a few rows, it was quieter and hassel free and didn't feel like cattle class. You can walk about and go down stairs staff was easy going, friendly and service brilliant. I travelled by myself and could not fault it. As a family we have booked again with the airline and also reserved our seats for upper deck manly for the reason only a few economy rows, quieter and service good.
