Seat Map Qantas Airways Airbus A380 800

I wanted to love it as it was my 1st big trip in Business class. I felt like such a newbie as I didn't know where the personal light was, where to store things etc. Yes , I asked.
Speaking of storage...being on the aisle (next to a window seat), I just had no close-by storage. I had to get up to get things out of the overhead lockers or the pocket in the seat in front.
The seat was very comfortable. I didn't go full flat as I did not want to block in the window seat person. The chair pad, quilt and pillow were lovely.
I didn't use any entertainment as I just read my kindle or tried to sleep. It was bumpy a lot of the time so wasn't that pleasant.
Food was tasty, light and fresh. Service was also good.

13B was right in front of the toilet and galley so I thought it might be really noisy. It wasn't too bad. People didn't congregate and chat, the staff were very quiet. The guy snoring opposite me on the aisle made more noise!
Overall, comfortable seat, just not much storage within the pod.

First time in First Class on the A380-8 airbus in seat 1A front left, classified as a window seat. The flight was overnight so sleeping was the aim - the crew very diligently prepare the bed by adding a mattress to the already comfy seat. The seat swivels from from front on to facing the corner to allow full flat bed extension. There's a dedicated overhead locker, and barely sufficient storage spaces for personal items. Entertainment is via a large screen but the range of options is not very exciting. Noise cancelling headphones are provided and very welcome. The screen is operated by the usual hand held cabled remote - feels clunky. 1A is close to the toilet, separated by a curtain and there's sufficient walled areas around the seat to provide the occupier privacy, tucked into the corner. Slippers and pyjamas are provided along with an amenity kit featuring Lagaia Unedited products. And almost before being seated the crew arrive with champagne and canapes. Food is good, Neil Perry curated, and served restaurant style. Crew are pleasant and obliging, nothing is too much trouble. A most enjoyable flight.

Really comfortable journey in this seat. Fantastic quite aircraft this A380 800 is. Only drawback is closeness to the galley area with the obvious noise problem from crew going about there business, serving up food etc, (slamming of storage cabinets and conversations) not to intrusive but it can wake you if your a light sleeper. And be aware you are very close to where the little ones are seated, so a baby crying for a bit is common but not a problem for the whole journey. Our flight Q10 LHR MEL stop off DXB for some reason was quite cold, to cold really but a blanket is provided. (conversely our return flight was the exact opposite , alas not quick enough to snap up this seat) Leg room is the whole point of this seat and boy that is what you get, snap this seat up quick, same for the seat 80K.

We had seats 15A&15B in business class.Not a good position as you are in full view of the galley and the noise and commotion coming from there is a lot more than bothersome. almost constant and seat 15B gets knocked frequently by crew when you are trying to sleep. We had 12A&B on the return journey and there is no comparison particularly with noise level and legroom is longer than row 15 - it was similar to being upstairs in the 747 more like a separate cabin as the first three rows are divided by the galley and toilets. Having said that the seats are excellent and the standard of service is very professional and friendly as you would expect from Qantas.

This seat sucked. The headphone jack didn't work at all, so was unable to use the inflight entertainment, lucky for me the other two seats in this row were empty so i could switch seats, BUT all the arm rests were broken/wobbly and 77J's screen was not responsive at all to touch so ended up in the aisle seat where the arm rests were loose, shaky and don't stay up (they fall straight back down whenever you moved them) but at least i could watch TV. The distance of the seat to the food prep area wasn't annoying though. But this whole row of seats needs some attention.

The staff and meals were perfect. I had a very restful journey in my business seat, it reclined to flat quite easily.
However, I did find access to control handset and headphone point quite difficult to access. This was partly because the seat was more narrow than those in the 330 which I had travelled in earlier, meaning I had to lie on my back all the time. The other difficulty was getting from my seat to the aisle when the person in 22B was asleep. There was no space and I had to step over their bed which was quite a stretch.

While there is no direct aisle access for this seat, the seat pitch, width and handle on the seatback definitely make it easy to get out from the window seat. There are plenty of storage for the window seat, but lacking for all aisle seats. The screen is small and in an awkward position when you have the tray table out. And when fully reclined, my seat pops up in the lower-back area, making it uncomfortable. So I have to sleep at about 165-170 fully flat (but not lie-flat). The mattress definitely made it very comfortable.

Although a comfortable roomy seat in Premium Economy however any seat that has a seat in front of it poses difficulty in getting out when the seat in front is fully reclined. Therefore it would not be my
preferred position on any future trips where I would attempt to gain the front row seats in premium economy. Obviously everyone is on to this now and you need to get in early. Otherwise I would just go for leg room seats in economy thereby getting the same at a huge reduced cost

We paid extra to choose seats. What a waste of money. We should have taken pot luck like everyone else. We were crammed in like sardines. Don’t waste your money choosing your seat as there’s no point. I don’t know why they make you pay for seat choice in economy.

Good seat in Premium Economy on the top deck. Lots of leg room and storage space. There's a space next to the seat which can hold a lot of belongings: handbag, travel pillow, iPad etc. Very good service, tasty food. The seat in front of me was reclined and caused no problem whatsoever.
