Getting Bulkhead Seat on The Spirit of Australia

[Arthur T]

I am going to travel on 2 737-400, 3 737-800 and 1 767-300 flights for my 1 week holiday, which includes:

QF787 SYD-CBR 734
QF815 CBR-MEL 734
QF683 MEL-ADL 738
QF680 ADL-MEL 738
QF618 MEL-BNE 738
QF557 BNE-SYD 763

I want to know if it is hard to get a bulkhead or an emergency exit row on these flights using the self-check in kiosk. In addition, where is the bulkhead and emergency exit row for the above flights?

Anyway, Whitsundays is quite expensive these days, so it'd be better to retime it to 14/2/2009

The emergency exit rows are blocked off on both online check-in and the check-in kiosk. You can always go and ask at the service desk or the bag-drop counters.

The bulkhead and exit-row seats are as follows:

• B734 - no 'fixed' bulkhead row per se as the aircraft can be configured to various configurations (depending on how J seats are required). Exit rows are row 11 and 12
• B738 - the bulkhead is located at row 4 and the exit rows are rows 13 and 14
• B763 - On 'OG*' series aircrafts, the bulkhead is located at row 23 and the ext rows are rows 34 and 35. On 'ZX*' series aircrafts, the bulkhead rows are rows 23 and 25 and the exit row is row 43.

Then how about those on the Bombardier Q400 Aircraft?

Because I already changed time to a mid-day flight for Canberra, so they are using the New Bombardier Q400.

No offense, but the Sydney to Canberra flight is 50 minutes... does it really matter where you're sitting for such a short flight?
