Qantas shakes up ultra-long-haul flights with new routes and seat options.
Qantas has revealed the design of its economy class seats for its upcoming ultra long-haul flights connecting Sydney to New York and London direct. The airline will offer passengers more leg room and space to move around the cabin, as well as "wellness zones" with TV screens guiding travelers through stretching exercises and bars to help them balance. The economy cabin will also have Bluetooth connectivity, free Wi-Fi, and "energizing food" to help reduce jet lag. The airline has been working with sleep researchers to optimize passenger comfort during the 19-hour flights.
