Qantas Project Sunrise A350 cabin reveal

Introducing a new dawn of travel. Our fleet of Airbus A350s have been specially designed to overcome the tyranny of distance, with the ability to travel between Australia and almost any city in the world, starting with Sydney to New York and London. Take a look inside our cabins and Wellbeing Zone, each carefully considered for luxury, comfort and wellbeing on ultra long-haul flights.

[@magnustan841]

I was hoping for at least some seating options, but I guess the idea is that it’s a space away from the seats to stand and get your blood circulating on these ultra long-hauls. That said, I still think a small bench like Emirates’ A380 bar would have been nice to see. It will make the whole experience worth charging the premiums these passengers will be charged.

Well these long routes which Qantas is planning are business routes. Very busy routes and connects areas of importance... U can't keep well to do people some just basic service on such important routes... So most of the airplane cabin is executive and very little basic economy class. Look at the Singapore Airlines A350ULR from Singapore to New York, San Fransisco routes. No economy class...

3-3-3 in Economy. 😕

[@rjmacf0015]

Agreed but what will it cost???😂😂

[@gluecksdrache2054]

@@rjmacf0015 I think you can make an estimation yourself. In comparison to (let's round it a bit) 2 * 11 hour flight there are some differences. The "first 11 hour" segment has nearly the same costs. For the "second 11 hour" segment you are not able to refuel so you have to carry the fuel all the way with you. So the weight of 11 hours * 900 kilometers per hour * estimated 4 litre per seat and 100 kilometers -> it's about 396 litres of kerosine which you fly through the air instead of tanking at an airport. Additionally you have additional crew and can't sell nearly any cargo on that flight. Naturally the calculation is a bit different for the more square feet consuming Business and First Class seats but you can calculate with a hefty surcharge. Naturally if I would fly on that route and as an airline enthusiast I would buy it. But 3 days a week for years. I am not sure if it is the technical fascination which let's Qantas start this project or if any person doing the calculations have overseen it.

[@rjmacf0015]

@@gluecksdrache2054 Thank you for that interesting and helpful reply. I have a personal interest as I have flown from the UK to Australia return 38 times over about 15 years in every class and know the routine rather well. I have done this mostly (but not always) with one airline which was not Qantas. The reason was that the Qantas passenger offering frankly was just not the best so this is a huge upgrade in aircraft choice and seating. As far as the route is concerned you'll know this is Sydney/Per/LHR for now at least. This is better than a non European touch down for 2 hours. Given the costs for this travel will always be very high it will be of great interest to see where this eventually fits given all carriers to and from Australia adding considerably to their pricing in the post COVID period. We shall see!

Great cabin! Only thing that buggers me with the Economy product is that there is no individual cup holder apart from the one on the table, would definitely like to have an individual cup holder like Singapore Airlines have on their A350's, just gives people more room when they're getting up to move around without you having to bother about your drink being knocked off the tray table.
