![]() ![]() I arrived from Miami into terminal A at Dallas, and flew out of terminal D. Unfortunately there isn’t a Qantas owned lounge at Dallas airport, let alone a Qantas first lounge. The seat controls are quite comprehensive. I must say, it is great to have the whole cabin to choose from – but also puts pressure on to make sure you choose the best seat! But I wasn’t sure if I should choose 1 or 2.Īfter initially selecting 1A (I read a review saying it was the most private), I changed my mind and chose 2A (after reading that the closet door was right next to 1A). In choosing my seat, I knew that I wanted an A seat – since there’s only 4 of them, and the middle (F) seats use the other aisle along with the K seats. It’s because of the Qantas A380 business seats that I wanted to do this flight in first class. Especially if I’m flying solo, and having to climb over my neighbour to get out of my seat. It did seem a bit luxurious using so many points on first class, but you need to fly first class at some stage, and I’m not a fan of the Qantas A380 business seats. Business class on American Airlines 772 to Dallas, then first class on the Qantas A380. I checked the Qantas website each day for about 4 weeks to keep an eye on award flights, and finally decided to connect through Dallas on to Sydney. The Qantas A380 currently operates flights from Sydney to Los Angeles and from June will also operate flights between Sydney and London via Singapore.In About Points, Flights, Points, Using PointsĪ recent holiday in the US ended with 5 fantastic nights in Miami. Qantas will also reopen its First Check-in suite at Sydney International for First customers and top tier Frequent Flyers to enjoy a personalised and streamlined check-in. The First cabin on the 485-seat A380 is popular with Frequent Flyers for its comfortable suites with fully lay flatbeds, premium Neil Perry multi-course dining experience, award-winning Australian wine cellar and Martin Grant designed PJs. “We know that our customers have missed the Qantas A380 travel experience as much as our team has missed being able to provide it for them so it’s fantastic that we’re back in the air with our premium full service on these newly refurbished aircraft.” Qantas Chief Customer Officer Stephanie Tully said the return of the airline’s premium offerings is a welcome sign of travel continuing to take off. The Spa will also reopen offering bespoke pre-travel treatments such as hot stone massages and mini facials using LaGaia products. The upper deck lounge has also had a full upgrade with booth style seating for 10 people, a self-service bar and an option to order signature drinks and snacks.įrom 27 March, Qantas will reopen its Sydney and Melbourne International Business Lounges as more passengers take to the skies and revert its First Lounges in Australia, which operated as hybrid First/Business Lounges during the pandemic, to the full premium offering.Įligible First Lounge customers will again enjoy a Neil Perry curated à la carte dining menu, Champagnes and fine Australian wines, as well as a seasonal cocktail selection. The aircraft have a reconfigured business class cabin, with 70 updated business suites, and an extended premium economy section with 60 seats, up from 35, as well as refreshed economy and First cabins. Qantas utilised the downtime while the aircraft were in the desert to upgrade the popular A380s increasing the number of premium seats and refurbishing the cabins. Qantas will reinstate its full First Class offering at the end of this month both on the ground and in the air as post-pandemic international travel steadily recovers and the national carrier wakes up more of its A380 superjumbo fleet.Ī fourth Qantas A380 has emerged from the Californian desert with Reginald Ansett (VH-OQH) leaving the storage yard this month for the first time since it was parked there in March 2020. ![]()
