Agree it's frustrating, but all airlines advertise their best product (you don't see Emirates showing their 2-3-2 Business class, or the Euro airlines advertising Euro Business)

Qantas really needs to upgrade their old metal to full flatbeds in Business in A380's, 747s and A330's. This should be a 1-2-1 configuration. I can understand how passengers paying full freight in Business would get upset getting the old shell cones that don't lie fully flat especially with a long haul flight. I made a similar complaint on SYD/BKK route. Good money for antiquated seating. As previous readers have written, many other of the competition airlines have refurbished their planes already in Business.

26/28 330s are full flatbeds, with the remaining too to follow soon.

As mentioned by moa999 and withstanding the droop of Skybed MkII, it is only 3 out of the A380, 747 and A330 fleet with angled lie-flat beds.

I've just looked on a booking I have on QF37 (Mel-Sin) in mid April and the plane has changed from the new business suite 1-2-1 to an older 2-2-2... I know that they can change their planes for 'operational' reasons... has anyone rung up and complained when airlines do this given you pay a fare based on a certain product and this change clearly isn't anywhere near as good? Wondering whether I could ask for a move to QF9 without a change fee or another day when they have the newer configuration?

absolutely, you should go for it. I was due to return from Auckland in the 1-2-1 A330 but flight got cancelled and I was put on a 737 service instead by default. I rang up a little angry and they put me on their only return flight for that day on an A330, which happens to be the 2-2-2 config. Still cheesed but they let me take my pick and didnt charge me anything.

It looks like I'm on an A330-200 with the 2-2-2 configuration for an upcoming flight, too. I note, though, that the Qantas website now says: 'Fly in contemporary comfort in our Business Suite on all A330 and B787-9 aircraft.' So does his mean the retrofit of all the A330s has been completed, and I can now expect a Business Suite, even though it will be in a 2-2-2 configuration? I wouldn't have thought the aircraft would be wide enough to accommodate that many seats?
