Just read in today's Travel Daily:
Subject to QF board approval: * removal of First on all 747s * First will remain only on 12 380s for LAX / SIN / LHR flights only * 4-class 380s will have business class reduced from 72 to 60 and a new 48 seat upper deck economy (not sure if that should have read Premium - just stating what TT said) Source: Travel Daily 01FEB10 |

Its apparently a $450mil intl product revamp which will apparently see:
All B744s in a 3 class config (J,Y+,and Y) featuring the A380 style seats and IFE. Apparently the Intl A333 and A332 fleet will also recieve the A380 Y class seats and the new A380 style IFE. Full details to be announced in the next few weeks. Anyone know more? |

Well the new A330's for transcontinental with IFE is the a380 system, so that makes sense.

I hope the A380 IFE is fixed in J class before it's rolled out too extensively. It was shocking when I went to London and back last October - a very user friendly system plagued by a hardware or software bug that damaged the otherwise great A380 experience:

Again, someone bandering about crticism and "poor maintenance", yet nothing to back up your claims. As far as I am aware QF don't have the worst maintenance programme going around, in fact it appears to be relatively decent. Further to that you sunk to the level of calling the 744 "dangerous". If that's the case why are they still in service? QF cannot replace ALL 744's at this stage with A380's as it would not be viable economically, add to that the fact that Airbus can only squeeze out around 20-30 or so A380's a year to accommodate all customers you wont see an ALL A380 fleet for a very long time to come. I suppose you better get used to the idea of flying the "Dangerous and poorly maintained" 744 for a while longer. |

Itīs a great idea, economy class in the upper deck. itīs a better seat configuration 2-4-2 ( like SQ ) instead of 3-4-3 if you are travelling as a pair. |

Andre I think you will find premium economy will be extended on the upper deck rather than conversion to economy.
Have a look at the Qantas seat map for the A380 and you will see 12 J seats in rows 24 and 25. Take these out and replace with 21 premium Y seats, adjust some of the awful seats at the back of the Y+ for crew use and you have your 60 J and 48 Y+ config.
