New Qantas A321XLR Business Class

The international and transcontinental Qantas A321XLR Business Class cabin will introduce lie-flat seating on a Qantas narrow-body aircraft. Sixteen internationally configured A321XLRs are expected to begin arriving from 2028.

The cabin will feature a 1-1 seating layout, giving every Business Class passenger direct aisle access. The new suites are also expected to include privacy doors, 19-inch entertainment screens, wireless and USB-C charging, onboard Wi-Fi and convenient personal storage.

Upgraded Boeing 787 Business Suites

Qantas’ new Boeing 787-9 aircraft will feature 42 Business Suites. Planned improvements include sliding privacy doors, 80-inch lie-flat beds, additional space around the footwell, 19-inch entertainment screens and redesigned personal storage.

The updated Qantas Business Class cabins are designed to improve comfort across long-haul, transcontinental and selected international services. For corporate travellers, features such as direct aisle access, lie-flat beds, charging facilities and greater privacy may provide a more practical environment for resting and working during longer journeys.
