Amid the recent confirmation of Qantas' order for 12 Airbus A350-1000s to operate nonstop Project Sunrise flights to New York and London From Australia, the airline has shared details of what passengers can expect in the cabin for these ultra-long-haul flights. The aircraft widebodies are scheduled to enter service from Sydney at the end of 2025, and plenty of space is expected on board. In today’s video, let’s take a look at what Qantas is promising on its future A350 fleet…

Never had any problem with 15-hour flights, even in economy (so long as the plane isn't built before the 1990s). I'd gladly fly directly from Sydney to NY just so that I don't have to bear the sight of LAX.

At least Qantas has shown to other airlines, what you can do for long and ultra long haul flights using a 4 class A350-1000ulr. The A350-1000ulr has opened up new opportunities for the A350-1000 variant putting pressure on Boeing's let to be built B777-8 sales.

I still think given the highly niche nature of the _Project Sunrise_ flights, the plane should be configured with Business and Premium Economy class passengers only, just like what Singapore Airlines did with their A3350-900ULR's.

@lmlmd2714 2 года назад

The volume of travellers between UK and Aus is absolutely insane given they on completely opposite sides of the planet. Furthermore, a huge of this demand is leisure/family & friends. You absolutely want an economy offering. QF already run direct flights LHR-PER with the 787, and even with that significantly smaller plane, they've always offered a classic economy product. The A350 Sunrise will strengthen it as the A350 economy 3-3-3 seating is way better than the 787 (which is pretty cramped), and also will be operating to Sydney (and prob Melbourne too in future), cities with even more demand than Perth. They'll find tons of economy demand, no prob at all.

@pullformore 2 года назад

SYD LON is a different market to SIN NYC. SYD LON is more leisure, with lots of families using the route, whereas SIN NYC is more business-heavy. Hence, Economy is more important to the route - a carrier needs a lower cost option. But let's say Qantas did as you suggest and only offered premium cabins on the route: the political ramifications for Qantas for not offering economy on the route would be huge, the outcry by the Australian public would be furious and Qantas would get absolutely hounded by the press ("Qantas doesn't support the Aussie battler"). So no, there always way, and always is going to be an Economy cabin on these flights.

@@lmlmd2714 I agree. Currently the flight isserved with a stopover in Singapore using a A380.

@jamesjackman4638 Год назад

Personally as I can't afford first class, I would have to win the lottery big time to experience that level of comfort. However as a regular traveller I do appreciate the Premium ecconomy section of the up comming A350-1000ULR, as specially if I can get an upgrade, as I have a airmiles card with a oneworld alliance member. Although I would also like to experience the regular ecconomy class on this new type of aircraft as it doesn't look too cramped unlike other airlines that cram them in, not to name anyone at this time.

The quickest travel time between Sydney and London is 22hrs and 40 mins on Singapore Airlines. Qantas is offering a 19hr flight with project sunrise. How much more would people pay for 4hrs off your time?

@aussiesorcerer791 2 года назад

I think it’s the convenience factor as well, and not just the 4 hrs trimmed off your trip that makes it a very appealing option. No need to worry about boarding and deboarding twice, finding your gate twice, breaking up sleep because you need to land etc. You get the journey done in one go.

I literally don’t understand why ANYONE would want to fly Sydney to London or Sydney to New York City in a single flight. Part of the “joy” or perhaps relief of such a long trek is the stopover that breaks up the journey, a chance to have a break in the stopover airport, and to change planes. Flying the whole thing in one go? No thank you. It will be a single stopover in Hong Kong, Singapore, Bangkok or Dubai (pick one) the next time I fly between Sydney and London.
