Qantas has unveiled the entire cabin design of its specially designed Airbus A350s that will fly direct from Sydney to New York and London from late 2025 and is set to conquer the final frontier of long-haul travel. 

The airline showcased its luxe first- and business-class cabins in February and has now unveiled the rest of the aircraft interior, including a unique dedicated Wellbeing Zone, Premium Economy and Economy cabins. 

Work on the cabin design began in 2019 and took tens-of-thousands of hours to create Qantas’ intuitive A350 cabin of the future which will fly 238 passengers for up to 22 hours nonstop from Australia to almost any destination in the world.   

The Qantas Project Sunrise flights will cut down point-to-point travel time by more than three hours compared to routes with one stop. 

Qantas will be the first airline in the world to offer a purpose-built Wellbeing Zone located between the premium economy- and economy-cabins featuring sculpted wall panels and integrated stretch handles, guided on-screen exercise programmes, a hydration station and a range of refreshments. 

The 40-seat premium-economy cabin and the 140-seat economy cabin will have the most generous seat pitches of any Qantas aircraft, ergonomic leg and foot rest systems and personal storage options. 

Every seat across all four cabins will feature multiple fast USB-C charging ports and every premium seat will also have integrated wireless charging.  

The Qantas A350 fleet will connect customers with fast and free WiFi and Bluetooth availability across all cabins, so customers can connect their personal headset to the individual inflight entertainment screen. 

The aircraft will have six large enclosed First Suites designed to feel like a mini boutique hotel room with a two-metre flat-bed, dining table for two, a separate recliner chair and a 32” 4k ultra-high-definition touch screen TV.    

The 52 Business Suites will feature sliding doors for additional privacy, lay flat bed, large dining table, bespoke lighting and 18” 4k ultra-high-definition touch screen TV.
