Qantas introduces innovative features for long-haul flights.
Qantas Airways has unveiled a "wellbeing zone" for economy-class passengers on its new A350-1000 jet, which will operate ultra long-haul flights between Sydney and London and New York. The lounge will feature an onboard stretch and movement space, sculpted wall panels, integrated stretch handles, an on-screen guided exercise program, and a station where passengers can pick up beverages and snacks. Qantas has reduced the plane's passenger capacity to 238 to make space for the lounge and promises relatively generous legroom in its economy and premium economy areas, with 33 inches and 40 inches of space, respectively.
