Qantas unveils new First Class suite

Qantas announced on Monday that it will be adding new First Class cabins with separate fully-flat beds on its longest flights from Australia to London and New York.

Qantas says it will introduce industry-leading levels of comfort across every cabin class in order to make the flights more pleasant.

The Qantas A350's crown jewel will be a brand new First Class suite with a separate bed and recliner lounge chair which comes complete with a television screen, a personal wardrobe and lots of other storage within a private suite that is separated from the cabin by a sliding door.

Qantas says passengers in every class will have plenty of room to spread out despite the A350 only having six First Class suites. The Qantas A350 will have less space than some airlines that can fit more than 300 passengers.

There will be 52 Business Class Suites with sliding doors, 40 Premium Economy seats, and 140 Economy seats.

The Qantas Wellbeing Zone will allow passengers to stand up and stretch out during the nearly day-long flights. Business Class passengers will have a separate walk-up bar.

The A350 order was officially announced by Alan Joyce at a special event in Sydney on Monday after details of the event were leaked a day early. Qantas still hopes to have the planes ready by 2025.

Joyce says demand for direct non-stop flights to and from Australia has never been as strong as it is now.

Qantas has been at the forefront of changing the way the world travels for more than 100 years.

The A350 and Project Sunrise will make almost any city in the world just one flight away from Australia. The last frontier is the final fix for the tyranny of distance that has traditionally challenged travel to Australia.

The Qantas A350 travel experience will be exceptional, particularly across the premium cabins. The First and Business Class seats will set a new benchmark for long-haul travel.

Joyce said that the aircraft could be used on other long-haul flights.
