Qantas reveals ultra long-haul first and business class cabins
Will PayneQantas has unveiled new renderings of the first and business class cabins on the aircraft which will fly passengers non-stop from Australia to London and New York from late 2025.
The cabins have been developed by a mix of aviation specialists, as well as Australian industrial design studio Caon Design and a multi-disciplinary team of scientists from the University of Sydney’s Charles Perkins Centre.
The first suite offers extra-wide fixed beds, separate recliner chairs, personal wardrobes, dining tables for two and 32-inch ultra-high-definition TVs.
Every business suite will have direct aisle access for ease of moving around the cabin, and Qantas is incorporating sliding doors into the suite for privacy, if desired.
Other business features include a two-metre flat bed, storage, cushioned leather ottoman, 18-inch ultra-high-definition touchscreen TV, large dining table and feature lighting.
The two premium cabin classes will also feature multiple personal device charging options including wireless induction charging.
Qantas Group chief executive Alan Joyce said: "Qantas has been the leader in opening up new long-haul flights for most of our history, and we’re bringing everything we’ve learned, both technically and in terms of passenger comfort, to Project Sunrise flying.
"We think our A350 cabins have the most sophisticated and thoughtful design of any airline, combining cutting-edge technology with sleep research to shape the look and feel for what is effectively a new era of travel."
The Qantas A350 will offer fast and free high-speed WiFi with partner Viasat following completion of satellite launches covering the Qantas international network.
The aircraft will have six first suites in a 1-1-1 configuration and 52 business suites in a 1-2-1 configuration, as well as a wellbeing zone for all passengers, which will be unveiled alongside the premium economy and economy cabins in the coming months.
