Your seat
On board our Airbus A380s and A330s we've upgraded the seats with softer cushioning, a netted footrest for a deeper recline and more legroom for extra comfort on longer journeys. Sit back and relax in an ergonomic slimline seat with built-in lumbar support. The adjustable headrest, with side wings supports your head while sleeping, and seat recline aims to maximise your comfort.
On our Dreamliner Boeing 787s you’ll enjoy the next generation and award-winning Recaro seat, ergonomically designed for optimal comfort. Everything has been thought of to support your travel needs – mood lights, storage areas and even a personal electronic device shelf. A new foot net provides additional support and further enhances the ergonomics when travelling on longer flights.
International Qantas dining
From award-winning wines, continual snacks through your flight, to menus that reflect the freshest seasonal ingredients - you’ll be spoilt for choice when dining with us. Look forward to more meal choices, larger portions and seamless meal service so you’ll have time to do the things you wish.

Sit back and watch your personal inflight entertainment system with over 1,000 hours of options covering new release movies, TV box sets, music, moving maps and interactive games for all ages. You’ll have the freedom and flexibility to watch inflight entertainment from the moment you step on board, including take-off and landing.

A stylish Economy amenity kit is offered on selected routes, complete with a handy dental kit, eyemask and earplugs. Designed with the environment in mind, the decorative felt pouch is made from recycled PET bottles and branded with our iconic roo logo - sure to become a collector's item.
