Qantas to add lie-flat Business Class on new Airbus A321XLR planes
Qantas is introducing a new Business Class cabin on its upcoming Airbus A321XLR aircraft, featuring for the first time lie-flat Business Class beds on a single-aisle plane. The cabin will include 42 seats in a 1-2-1 layout with direct aisle access, plus USB and AC power, seat-back screens, and Wi-Fi on selected routes. The shift is driven by faster growth in premium demand, leading to fewer Economy seats than on the 737-800s it replaces.
