Project Sunrise is 'go' as Qantas pilots agree to ultra-long flights
Mar 30, 2020, 06:02 PMHorses for courses, I suppose, but I quite like the menus and service on QFi in Business. Can't speak for First. I've always quite enjoyed the food (well, as much as you can at 38,000ft at a weird time of day), and find the service professional without being too over the top. I do really like the...

Qantas revisits non-stop flights to Chicago
Jun 18, 2019, 09:10 AMI'm not so sure about that. The Project Sunrise aircraft will seat about 300pax in a 4-class configuration, according to Joyce. That's nowhere as large as an A380 or even the B744ERs, so it won't require Qantas to funnel the same level of connecting traffic from BNE/ADL etc through SYD to fill th...

It can be just as useful for Qantas to confirm that its...

New for the Roo: Qantas gets its first Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner
Oct 21, 2017, 01:39 AMBoeing designed the 787 economy cabin for 8-abreast seating, which was a rather luxurious configuration. To the best of my knowledge, only JAL has stuck with that configuration, however. All other airlines opted for a 9-abreast economy cabin, which results in roughly 17 inch wide seats. (ANA init...

Qantas to convert remaining A380 orders to A350-900ULR?
Aug 18, 2017, 07:00 PMWhat's the freight capacity on the 777-8X versus the A350ULR? My understanding was that the ULR loses a lot of its freight capacity, to pick up the increased fuel load in a (largely) unmodified airframe.Might impact the economics a bit, if the -8X is designed to carry freight, whereas the ULR has...
