We've documented 13 cabin configurations across 9 aircraft types that Qantas' fleet flies. 4 of those aircraft types have more than one cabin layout in service at once — a genuine version lottery, not a one-off. We document every version we've found, not just the newest.
8 of 13 are verified directly against Qantas' own published material; the rest are derived or provisional — see each config's own confidence badge. Built from 34 cited sources across the fleet, linked on each configuration's own page.
Across the fleet: the 737 MAX 8 (J/Y/Y); the 737-800 (J/Y or J/Y, depending on the specific aircraft); the 787-9 (J/J/J/W/Y/Y/Y/Y); the A319 (Y); the A321neo (J/Y/Y/Y/Y/Y/Y/Y or 20J/177Y, depending on the specific aircraft); the A330-300 (28J/273Y); the A380-800 (F/F/J/J/J/W/W/W/W/Y/Y/Y/Y/Y/Y/Y/Y/Y/Y/Y/Y); the Dash 8-400 (Q400) (Y/Y or Y/Y, depending on the specific aircraft); the Embraer 190 (9J/88Y or 10J/84Y, depending on the specific aircraft).

- No. We're an independent site with no ownership stake in, sponsorship from, or commercial relationship with Qantas or any other airline, and that never influences a seat rating.
- I flew a different layout to what you show — what do I do?
- Tell us. Airlines retrofit cabins constantly and we can't catch every change the moment it happens. Email corrections@bestplaneseats.com with the flight number, date and what you actually saw, and we'll investigate.
