I could hear the flaps, and they sounded a bit tired, as opposed to what I have heard on previous Qantas Boeing 737-800s.The cabin onboard VH-VZU is the newer Boeing Sky Interior, and it was my first time onboard a Boeing 737 aircraft with this interior. Having flown both a number of times over the past year I can honestly say that they are both excellent offerings both business and economy, especially compared to US and European airlines. ?Informative, useful review but "airplane"? Proudly created with All images are of my own work unless referenced and / or otherwise stated For starters, you can't help but notice the scalloped and LEC backlit recess overhead.That design element is repeated along the roof of the cabin from tip to tail, and is just one pointer to a shift from sharper angles to smoother lines and more organic curves.That includes the steep sweep of the overhead luggage bins, which are a little larger on the inside and also provide more headroom for passengers, as well as contributing to the cabin's more spacious, "lighter and brighter" appeal.Speaking of lighter and brighter, another standout feature of the new interior design is the LED lighting in the plane's ceiling and sidewalls.The colour and intensity can be changed by the cabin crew, with the ability to cycle through preset 'themes' throughout various stages of the flight, including boarding and during meals, as well as mimicking sunrise and sunset.There's no truth to the rumour that the lights switch into a pulsating rainbow-like So what else is new? This aircraft configured on single economy class cabin with total capacity 181 seats. Project FSI is a new dedicated FS cabin interior-painting group. Someone paying full-fare economy on QF now needs their head read.Actually Virgin Y has a minimum pitch of 31 inches on the 737s - compared to Qantas at 30 inches.Is there a Virgin conspiracy on AusBT? The seat was very comfortable. There are a total of 174 seats on this aircraft. This was the first time from memory I had flown an aircraft with a seatback TV screen since I went to Europe back in 2011. Could you answer my question below?Can some aviation geek please tell me, how many, which Qantas 737s have the red seats in business now? Some frequent flyers may already have flown in this bird, which took to the Aussie skies last month.

In the Qantas Boeing 737-800 layout, regardless of whether the aircraft was fitted with the old interior or the Boeing Sky Interior, there are three rows (1-3) in business class in a 2-2 configuration (twelve business class seats total), the seats are made from 'luxury' leather with a seat pitch of 37 inches and a seat width of 22 inches. :)Maybe a lot of us are just 'early adopters' who have made the move to Virgin now that it's prodiving a real alternative to Qantas, we're just 'ahead of the curve'! There is a magazine and safety card in the seat pocket (which is standard for any aircraft of any airline). - Obviously you're spending too much time with Boeing. QANTAS B737-800NG - BOEING SKY INTERIOR Hi All, I have flown QF Domestic J a few times over the last couple of weeks and always seem to be finding myself on the older B737. And if a row has been added beind the exits on VA's new 73Hs (which I am told is the case), then they are 30" too.NOOB: you are my new hero from a fellow geek aviator;-)At least Qantas is starting to realise that there planes are becoming old in style, replacing the cabin interior to be more competitive with Virgin Australia is a great idea. SAS Fleet Boeing 737-800 Details and Pictures.Not only the B737-600 and B737-700, Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) also operates larger version from its family, the Boeing 737-800.. On current fleet, SAS operates 29 Boeing 737-800 for short-medium flights. On some aircraft with the old interior and all aircraft with the Boeing Sky Interior, each seat has a seatback touchscreen TV and there is a USB port on the back of the seat infront of the passenger. Downright greedy to get more people on the plane to make more money. I had elected to sit in seat 18A for this flight, which overlooked the wing. There are the same number of seats on the BSI 737-800's as there have been on any QF 737-800 since they were first introduced 10 years ago. Thanks but we'll pass.Now, should the system be upgraded to play video from the USB key – something that Qantas' techie boffins tell us is more a matter of 'when' than 'if' – then this would certainly be a boon for travellers, who could load some of the latest downloaded videos onto a USB key and watch them on the seat-back screen instead of their laptop.David Flynn is the Editor-in-Chief of Executive Traveller and a bit of a travel tragic with a weakness for good coffee, shopping and lychee martinis.The business class seats are international premium economy seats recovered - with slightyly less legroom than Virgin btw...much prefer to older 737-800 biz seats over these new C seat - the footrest/legrest is a joke compared with the older style chairsoh and what a narrow exit row - cf this with a United exit row on a 757 or an A320Those red seats in J Class are hideous.
