I'm currently helping my parents plan a France trip for April 2007 and we are trying to get them Business Class Qantas Frequent Flyer seats from Brisbane to Paris or Frankfurt.

They have told me that under no circumstances will they fly Qantas Business class - they will only fly on flights operated by British Airways. They jokingly call the Qantas Business Class seats "velcro seats" because you need a Velcro strap to stop you sliding off. However they rave about the BA business class seats where you can lie down and sleep like a baby.

(Trouble of course is right now we can't *get* any frequent flyer seats... But that's another story...)
