Qantas has unveiled the cabin designs for its upcoming non-stop flights connecting Sydney to London and New York

Enhanced Passenger Comfort

To ensure passenger comfort during flights lasting up to 22 hours, Qantas has reduced the number of seats to 238, significantly fewer than the typical 300-seat configuration of the A350-1000. This reduction allows for increased legroom and the inclusion of innovative features such as a dedicated "Wellbeing Zone." 

Cabin Classes and Amenities

• First Class Suites: Each aircraft will house six luxurious First Class suites, designed to offer an unparalleled level of comfort and privacy.​

• Business Class: The Business Class section features 52 suites, each equipped with a sliding door for enhanced privacy, a spacious dining table, and ample storage space.​

• Premium Economy and Economy: The aircraft will also include 40 Premium Economy seats and 140 Economy seats, all designed with passenger comfort in mind.​

• 
  

Passengers across all classes will have access to complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity for in-flight entertainment systems. 

Wellbeing Zone

A standout feature of the new design is the "Wellbeing Zone," situated between the Economy and Premium sections. This area is equipped with on-screen exercise programs, stretch handles, and hydration stations, encouraging passengers to move and stay refreshed during the long-haul journey. ​

Launch Timeline

Qantas plans to receive the first of these adapted Airbus A350-1000s by the end of next year, with initial flights operating from Sydney to Auckland for crew training purposes. The inaugural non-stop flights to London and New York are expected to commence in early 2027. ​

With these advancements, Qantas aims to redefine the experience of long-haul travel, offering passengers unprecedented comfort and convenience on some of the world's longest flight routes.
