Qantas has a number of slight variations in its economy seating, firstly between domestic and international, and then within the international fleet as new aircraft have been introduced.

The seats feature lumbar support and adjustable headrest wings for extra head and neck support. The economy seats on the B747-400 fleet are currently being upgraded with a new colour scheme and Marc Newson designed fabrics and carpets. 

The Inflight Entertainment (IFE) system - Total Entertainment - is Audio and Video on Demand (AVOD) delivered to personal TV screens. It includes movie releases and computer games. There are also personal telephones in every seat featuring SMS with reply capability.

On domestic flights, Boeing 737 aircraft offer a seat pitch of only 30 inches, but 767s and Airbus  A330s offer 31 inches.

All international aircraft, including the Boeing 767, 747, the A330 and the new A380, have a 31-inch pitch.

I have not rated baggage as I rarely check in baggage on short haul, domestic business trips.
