Re: What must one do for an exit row?
For me the exit row is not so much about legroom but moreso that no one can recline into my face for the duration of the flight....

I think he is implying that due to everyone requesting an exit row.... he would rather have a middle seat spare up the back, than have some legroom in an exit row with an occupied middle seat.... |

Re: What must one do for an exit row?
I contacted the QFF service center a couple of days ago about an upcoming award booking (by the way, much better deal if you start your travel outside of Australia) and asked the customer service agent about recording preferences for exit row seats. She confirmed what everyone on the board previously mentioned, and placed a record on my file for all international flights. Sure enough, the next day my QF international seat allocations were changed to exit row seats.
Good times! |

Re: What must one do for an exit row?
I called yesterday to request some seats on the tickets i had just booked, she said i had been assigned seats, row 47... huh ? as a WP and with my forward isle preference and free seats why did i not get row 40 or 41 ? easy changes, one of them may have been because it was normally a disabled seat but otherwise i dont know why i would default to a few rows back

Re: What must one do for an exit row?
This has been my observation recently. It would appear that the cheaper booking classes do not get the better seat allocations. I have been pushed a little further back in the cabin since the recent changes. Sure a simple phone call gets a better seat, possibly even exit row, but we should not have to call, it should happen automatically.

I think more to the point is that even though Qantas specify many such seats as disabled, there seems to be nothing to prevent any "non-disabled" passenger from being allocated one, either automagically or manually.
Here's a QF seat map from E/F, the Disabled seats show as over wing aisle seats with lift up left hand armrests that are not otherwise blocked for premium PAX. (Presumably the wheelchairs employed enable PAX to slide across to the right):

Re: What must one do for an exit row?
Kind of on-topic...does anyone else find they never get given a bulkhead seat?
My preference is forward aisle, but really, if I could set it, I'd make my domestic preference bulkhead anything. 9 times out of 10, this is my experience: 737: Booked in full Y. Allocated row 5 or 6. 4B is always available, so I choose that (middle bulkhead). Never, ever, ever pre-allocated anything in row 4. 767: Booked in full Y. Allocated row 25-26 aisle. Something in 23 is often available, but I'm never allocated it. The lady in 4A this morning was a CL, so fair enough...and I'm really not complaining, but I just thought I'd occasionally snare a bulkhead with 3,500 SC's to my name this year alone.... Ah well, can't be too picky. Cheers, - Febs. |
