The lavish first class suites on Qantas have been revealed, and they include sliding doors and full beds.
The latest First and Business Class cabins, which will be used on flights from Australia to New York and London starting in late 2025, have been shown off by the Australian airline.
The cabins are larger and more spacious than other Airbus A350s because Qantas has reduced the aircraft’s seating capacity from 300 to 238. They were created with ultra-long haul travel in mind.
The airline hopes that the suite’s many amenities will give passengers the impression that they are in a “mini boutique hotel room.”
A dining table for two, a 32″ ultra-high definition TV, a separate recliner chair, and an extra-wide fixed bed are included.
Each business suite will feature sliding doors for privacy and direct aisle access to make moving around the cabin easier.
A two-meter flat bed, ample storage space, a large mirror, a leather ottoman with a cushion, an 18″ ultra-high definition touch screen TV, a large dining table, and accent lighting are some additional business features.
Additionally, first and business classes will have multiple charging stations, including wireless induction charging, as well as quick and cost-free Wi-Fi throughout the aircraft.
All passengers will be able to connect their own Bluetooth-enabled headset to the in-flight entertainment system thanks to the aircraft’s Bluetooth connectivity.
The suites were created by a group of aviation experts, an industrial design firm from Australia named Caon Design, and a multidisciplinary team of scientists from the Charles Perkins Centre at the University of Sydney, including sleep specialists.
Qantas Group CEO 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.
