Qantas Airways Airbus A380 800 seat review by Dianna #38288

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.
