Qantas Reveals Next Generation Airbus A330 Cabin Upgrades

This year has seen significant changes at Australia's national airline, Qantas. Many of the changes have been aimed at improving customer experiences on flights and at airports. Changes are continuing, as we recently saw Qantas announce that it would be upgrading ten Airbus A330s, investing millions of dollars in the economy cabin.

This video will examine the airline’s cabin retrofit plan and what passengers can expect on these older aircraft!

Nice to see Qantas upgrading they A330 fleet

[GarlandTexasSpotter]

Hopefully Qantas upgrades their A380 fleet too. Some of their A380’s has a refreshed cabin, but sitll have older screens and older seats.

Would be better if they also added a small premium economy cabin on the A330s

Hmm..I’m sceptical. Are Qantas using the new seats to add an extra row or two in the economy cabin?

Considering the current situation with delayed new aircraft deliveries, it’s a GREAT strategy! It’s unfortunate the waste of money in updating older aircraft but just the new reality…

I love the A-330 economy class layout (2-4-2)
These bi-folding tables tend to lose its horizontality fast (objects slide down)
I hope Qantas gets rid of the IFE box underneath the seat (takes a lot of room)

Good idea. I hope passengers enjoy it.

I am flying in Qantas A330 from bangalore - Sydney next week .

[NeverLate]

I hope they upgrade the soundproofing. Those A330-200 aircraft engines sound like their in the seat beside you. Bangkok to Sydney, deaf upon arrival.

no matter what they do, i always get a sore back from the flight from the seats. This is why im very reluctant to travel overseas from Australia.

Also in Manila, The Philippines., soon they used another A330 from Brisbane to Manila

[electro_sykes]

The new business class product just looks like a slight refresh to what they already have.

so good to have a new cabin but i wish they invested in the a330 neo

[Nands]

Completely overdue. I flight Qantas enough to be platinum and boy is the a330's showing their age. Every flight I've had in recent memory has had something wrong with the seat or entertainment.

From broken device holders to tray tables that can't eject. Certainly puts a dampener on the experience.

OLED screens seem like a poor choice given the potential for burn in

[johngwheatley]

When will there be side panels on the seats big enough to rest your head when sleeping?

[ramyfares]

Qantas should also consider purchasing A330-800neo fleet replacing their aging A330-200s and A330-900neo fleet replacing the -300. From once upon a time, a beautiful A330 aircraft that was a queen of the skies since the 90's, now the A330neo, same aircraft, but even better!

[jpmasters-aus]

No Economy Plus being installed which is disappointing.

[chubbyfun]

Being a bit taller hate travelling on A330s as they are so closely set up hence avoid any airlines A330 flights. You are packed in like sardines

100% a trial run to see if they will be fit for purpose on a 20+ hour flight
