    Ugly Qantas A380 Cabin

    I agree with most of what I have read about the Qantas A380 Cabin, the color scheme is totally dodgy, and the "new" style seats already look outdated. Why wasn't Qantas years into the future. I mean the A380 should service Qantas decades into the future?

    I cannot agree with your title the Qantas A380 cabin is not ugly, just different from what we have seen with Singapore Airlines, I do agree their First and Business is not up to that on Singapore Airlines A380, but we need to see more photos and actually take a flight before we can say how good or bad the seats and cabin is.

    What is everyone complaining about, this is an innovative cabin. I would die and I would give away my right arm to fly on their first flight, People should wait to fly in the Qantas A380 before making such comments.

    The cushioning on those seats across all cabins looks very thin and inadequate, just look at the photos of Singapore Airlines economy seats, hell they look thicker and more comfy than the Qantas A380 business class seats.

     

    BTW where are the premium economy pics, and where on the Qantas A380 will premium economy be?

    people should first have a experience of traveling in Qantas A380 then only they should comment. I don't think people at Qantas will be fool to design such awkward interior as all guys are complaining. Just have a trip and then comment, it will make more sense.

    One thing that should be noted is that the F cabin is configured as 1-1-1, as opposed to Singapore Airlines which operates in a 1-2-1 seat config for its suites. 

    Now there are two views on this, flying Qantas F in their A380 you should get a bit more width of personal space, but by not being in a 1-2-1 configuration such as on SIA's A380 there are no double suites, I suppose both configurations have their advantages, depends if you are travelling with your wife or not.
