A reader reports:
G’day from London.
On Sunday (last) I was on Qantas QF 9 from Singapore to London Heathrow. In
my section, the forward part of Economy, not one of the 6 exit row seats and 4 bulkhead seats was taken. These are the seats that now command a $A160 fee to occupy for that sector. Once we were airborne and the seatbelt sign was off, it was a mad scramble for those vacant seats that was both offered and allowed by the cabin crew. So is this new Scrooge-like charge actually working? Has anyone else noticed
similar things happening since Qantas introduced this imposition earlier this month?

Ken,
This is interesting, but surely Qantas conducted some market research before implementing this somewhat petty and small-minded charge? Then again, the punters are not total mugs when asked to part with their hard-earned!
