Business class and premium economy lose their best seats
Business class drops down from 72 to 64 seats on the upper deck -- so if you're booked in a business seat further back than row 22, best to check your booking to see that your seat hasn't changed.
The fantastic seats in exit row 24 have been lost to premium economy, unfortunately, leaving business class without exit row seats -- only less spacious bulkheads.
However, good news comes in the form of two sets of twin seats at the front of the second business cabin.
Seats 15AB and 15JK are now either side of the galley kitchen that separates them, making them a choice for privacy (but potentially not for quiet, since they're next to the galleys).
Some of the choice extra legroom seats vanish from premium economy Some of the choice extra legroom seats vanish from premium economy
In premium economy, row 38 (a middle block of three seats) plus seats 38J and 38K were top picks for their copious legroom beyond the standard 38 inch pitch.
They now vanish, with all premium economy seats arrayed in a standard 2-3-2 layout and only the front row, which faces the emergency exit doors, offering extra room for your pins.
More premium economy (and economy, too) upstairs
You'll now find 35 premium economy seats upstairs, further forwards than on the other Qantas A380s.
It starts at row 24 and stretches back five rows in a 2-3-2 configuration. Pick emergency exit row 24 for the most leg room.
Where premium economy used to be at the back of the upper deck cabin, you'll now find economy, but it's slightly complicated in layout.
The front two rows, numbers 32-33, are in a standard 2-4-2 layout. Row 34 just has the centre four seats.
Rows 35 and 36, however, on the centre and right hand side of the cabin, in a 3-2 configuration. Seats D, E and F are in the centre, with J and K on the right.
The best economy seats look to be 35J and 35K, which have emergency exit legroom, with row 32 also decent.
Avoid seats D, E and F in rows 34-36: they're right next to the pair of lavatories.
