Qantas Unveils Luxe Business Class Upgrades for New Aircraft

Australian airline Qantas is revamping its business class seats on select aircraft. The first to receive the upgrade are the Airbus A321XLR and Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, with deliveries starting in 2028.

The new business class seats on the Airbus A321XLR feature fully flat convertible beds, a first for narrow-body aircraft in Qantas' fleet. Each seat has direct aisle access and is equipped with features like a sliding door, wireless charging, and USB-C ports.

Qantas plans to deploy these aircraft on transcontinental routes to and from Perth as well as short- to medium-haul international routes. The airline has ordered 16 of these aircraft with the corresponding cabin configuration.
