QANTAS Airways has unveiled its new economy plus cabin, offering 40% more legroom, priority boarding, and priority access to overhead baggage space.
This new product will be available from February on the Airbus A321XLR, A220 and Boeing 737 aircraft, which operate on the carrier’s domestic network, as well as to New Zealand and the Pacific Islands.
High-tiered members will receive complimentary access to Qantas economy plus.
“This is an evolution of our economy offering and delivers more choice for our customers while recognising our most loyal frequent flyers with expanded benefits, in the areas we know they value the most,” Chief Executive Officer Vanessa Hudson said.
At the same time, the Qantas Group announced the appointment of Alison Watkins as an independent Non-Executive Director from March, as part of its ongoing board renewal.
Watkins is a member of the Reserve Bank Monetary Policy Board, a director of CSL and Wesfarmers, and Chancellor of the University of Tasmania.
