Qantas Airways will begin offering “Qantas Economy Plus” on its Airbus A330 aircraft.
Compared to standard economy class, Qantas Economy Plus offers up to 40% more legroom, as well as benefits such as priority boarding and priority access to overhead storage space. It is already available on Airbus A321XLR, Boeing 737, and Airbus A220 aircraft.
The number of seats varies by aircraft type, with 58 seats on the Airbus A330-200D, 50 seats on the Airbus A330-200LR, and 56 seats on the Airbus A330-300. Refurbishment will be carried out sequentially by September, and bookings will be available for flights departing on or after September 18.
Nick McGlynn, Senior Vice President Asia, commented, “As demand for premium travel experiences continues to grow rapidly across Asia, Qantas is committed to delivering the comfortable, high-quality air travel our customers expect. By offering benefits such as extra legroom, priority boarding, and priority access to overhead baggage storage as a single service, we are very pleased to be able to provide even more choice to our customers in Japan.”
