I haven’t heard about the A320Neos but it looks as though the first A320neo will be delivered to Qantas in early 2024. I haven’t heard what type of interiors they will include but i suspect that they will have new seat interiors and new entertainment system.

I wonder whether they will attach all USB ports to all seats of Airbus a320?

ideally;

- increased seat pitch to 31-32inches

- wifi

-in seat screens / entertainment with USB C

- fabric seats

-curtain between business and economy

- toilets that support pax with disabilities


reality will probably be:

29inch seat pitch,

no tv screens

wifi and wifi entertainment to your device.

skinnier and enhanced toilets.

I assume that there will be new interiors, free wifi to all Customers and new seating configuration. Personally, I think the seating configuration for the Qf A320Neo will be 8 Business Seats, and 188 Economy Class Seats.

The A320Neo will operate on domestic routes including replacing 737 routes— Perth-Sydney, Perth-Melbourne and open up new routes including Perth-Auckland, Perth-HK

Why would they reduce business from 12 to 8? Business tends to be completely full on nearly all flights becuase people are either willing to pay extortionate fares or waste points on short domestic upgrades.

The A320 will not fly on medium haul routes to Asia, the A321XLR will.

Why do you keep posting speculative posts when AUSBT has made articles about all these topics and will continue to do so as delivery date nears.

Why would they reduce the number of business class seats by 33% compared to the current 737 configuration? That would make no economic sense.

Because these aircraft will have been ordered and spec'd up in the Alan Joyce era expect the worst in terms of configuration. Remember it's all about shareholders, not passengers.

Qantas Domestic has not ordered any A320neos. The A321xlr will be configured J20/Y180 and the A220-300 will be configured J10/Y127.

They have over 100 A320NEOs on order which have been earmarked for Jetstar but as we have seen can be switched across the group.

With the JQ a320Neos at least they will replace the ageing A320CEOs. The A320Neos will open up new opportunities domestically and internationally including new routes Perth-Darwin, Brisbane-Auckland. As well, Perth can be used as its main hub.
