Qantas New A380 Premium Economy – Image courtesy of QantasĪll the Premium Economy seats now offer USB ports and power outlets and the IFE screen is improved and slightly larger than the one found on the older A380s. These seats are pretty comfortable to sit in, they offer a reasonable amount of storage space and they offer approximately an inch more width than their predecessors….but I know some will be disappointed to find out that Qantas is sticking with the 38″ of legroom that it offers across all its Premium Economy cabins.
Just as with the Business Class cabin, Qantas has installed the same seats in the A380’s new Premium Economy cabin as are found in the airline’s Dreamliners…and this is mostly good news.

This is a noticeable step up for the A380 as the Business Class cabin now offers a 1-2-1 cabin layout (which gives all passengers direct access to one of the aircraft’s two aisles), a considerably more comfortable seat (both in the seated position and the lie-flat position), a larger IFE screen with noticeably higher resolution and, very importantly, more storage space than the older SkyBed seat.

Qantas has updated the 14 First Class seats with new contoured cushioning, new seat finished and a larger inflight entertainment screen with higher resolution.

Qantas has chosen to make a few subtle changes to its First Class product rather than to go to the expense of commissioning a new seat and that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

The first of Qantas’ newly refurbished Airbus A380 aircraft took to the skies yesterday complete with a new cabin arrangement, new/updated seats in all cabins and a newly designed onboard lounge area where First Class and Business Class passengers can relax away from their seats.
