Qantas A380 readies for take off with newly reinstated Premium cabins

Qantas previewed its new cabin layouts in its flagship Airbus A380 aircraft, which will take to the skies later this month on the Sydney-Los Angeles route, as the airline activates more of its A380 superjumbo fleet. So far four QF A380s have left its storage yard this month for the first time since it was parked there in March 2020.

The reconfigured superjumbo layout sees the entire top deck of the aircraft dedicated to 70 Business Class suites and a 60-strong Premium Economy cabin, while the lower deck is shared by the 14-seat First Class cabin and refreshed Economy class seating. The upper deck lounge has also had a full upgrade with booth style seating for 10 people, a self-service bar and an option to order signature drinks and snacks.

Qantas Chief Customer Officer, Stephanie Tully, confirmed that the Sydney and Melbourne International Business Lounges would also reopen on March 27, while First Lounges in Australia will revert to the full premium offering with spa treatments, a curated a la carte dining menu and seasonal cocktails.

Eligible First Lounge customers will again enjoy a Neil Perry curated à la carte dining menu, Champagnes and fine Australian wines, as well as a seasonal cocktail selection. The Spa will offer bespoke pre-travel treatments such as hot stone massages and mini facials using LaGaia products.

Tully added that the return of airline’s premium offerings is a welcome sign of travel continuing to take off.

“We know that our customers have missed the Qantas A380 travel experience as much as our team has missed being able to provide it for them so it’s fantastic that we’re back in the air with our premium full service on these newly refurbished aircraft.”

The First cabin on the 485-seat A380 is popular with Frequent Flyers for its comfortable suites with fully lay flat beds, premium Neil Perry multi-course dining experience, award winning Australian wine cellar and Martin Grant designed PJs.

Qantas will also reopen its First Check-in suite at Sydney International for First customers and top tier Frequent Flyers to enjoy a personalised and streamlined check-in.

The Qantas A380 currently operates flights from Sydney to Los Angeles and from June will also operate flights between Sydney and London via Singapore.
