Wow! Qantas charges another $125 for exit-row seat

by Janice Hough


In the ever escalating airline fee wars, Qantas has now taken things to a whole new level. Starting next month, the airline plans to charge AU$160
(approximately $125) for exit-row seats on their long-haul flights.


On shorter flights, presumably within Australia, the airline will charge AU$80 for the exit row. Although, Qantas says plans are still being finalized as to... ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ Made it here, and guess what!???  The checkin clerk looked at me a bit quizzically when I mentioned Qantas now charging for emergency row, and said, yes, there
had been talk about it, but they hadn&#39;t started doing it.  And we got emergency row, and it was the good one, NOT at the restrooms, and Bigdog took the
window seat and did not freeze too badly, and we had a great and gorgeous and gregarious young Northern Irish fellow as a seatmate, and we all slept for hours
and hours.

			<description><![CDATA[ Well, for what it&#39;s worth jjj, I do think aside from the leg room being about average, Qantas has one of the more comfortable seats in coach. Definitely
some of the best service I&#39;ve had on a flight without it being overbearing. So, I&#39;d sure rather (by a long shot) fly Qantas base coach over any of the
other airlines I&#39;ve been on, including American, Aer Lingus, Cathay, Eva, British, United, Delta, Iberia, etc...

			<description><![CDATA[ Thanks for that info, Clifton.  I have had that trade-off before.  Okay, I am psyching up now for not getting emergency row.  I just remembered another
drawback on some airplanes.  Sometimes the emergency row seats have fewer inches front to back.  Since most of my height is in my thighs, it can get real
uncomfortable sitting on a short seat.

I had a hosanna!  moment for a while this afternoon when I was checking my Qantas reservation, and it briefly showed that I already have seats... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ for what it&#39;s worth - I find their exit seats ok for legroom, but for long trips, not so much overall. The video and such are in the armrests in the exit
row, which makes the seat quite a bit narrower, I keep having to store the video and dining tray to get up and down, and the arm rests don&#39;t flip up at all
(which is usually ok, but like it up if traveling with my wife). ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Ohhhhh, yeah... that&#39;s right. They don&#39;t go all the way across, but the boxes are kind of a pain. On the other hand, the run pretty good personal
entertainment systems. You know, I really would give up on-board movies in favor of sleeping through.

			<description><![CDATA[ Well, I just checked seatguru and more bad news.  All of the aisle seats in economy and the aisle seats in the two-seat area Clifton mentioned have equipment
boxes for the entertainment system under the seats.  So I can&#39;t sit in any of those.  Damn those boxes.  Damn these legs.  Bad, bad combo.  Hell, two
middle seats in the middle is not looking too bad, lol.

			<description><![CDATA[ Clifton, It is probably too late for us on our flight over, but maybe I can change for our flight back.  Whenever I have gone to the Qantas website to select
seats, the website has always malfunctioned.  Thanks for the tip.  I will try to go to something like seatguru.com and see what are the numbers for those
seats.  Thanks again.  Every inch counts for me.  Errrr ....

<br>
PS - if traveling as a couple on their 747, the last 3 rows of the outside 2 seat sections are the best. There&#39;s a curve in the fuselage that leaves a
bunch of room between the window seat and the window. (we&#39;ve traveled the LAX to Australia route a lot)

fourteen hour trip to Vietnam a few years back where I mostly stood up in the back of the plane the entire trip.  I can do it again if I have to.

We are flying Qantas to Australia in one week.  I arranged my flight to SFO so that we would have at least three hours in SFO and I could plead and beg for an
emergency row exit for my very long legs.  I am still young enough and robust looking enough that I have been pretty lucky in getting emergency row.  Now I
just have to slap money on them.  But, man, that is a ton of money, and I probably won&#39;t do it,... ]]></description>
