The verdict
Inside Business Suite
Qantas' Business Suite is a solid 1-2-1 with excellent bedding by Australian designer David Caon; where the airline truly excels is on the ground, the Sydney and Melbourne First Lounges (Neil Perry menus, spa treatments) are among the best airline spaces ever built.
Project Sunrise changes the game for Australia: A350-1000ULRs with a wellbeing zone, due to fly Sydney to London and Sydney to New York nonstop from 2027 as deliveries begin. Premium seats on these will be scarce, exactly the scenario where negotiated inventory access matters most.
- Sydney & Melbourne First Lounges with Neil Perry dining
- Business Suite with Caon-designed bedding
- Project Sunrise 20-hour nonstops to London and New York, from 2027

Travelers, in their own words
What people who fly Qantas actually say
Choosing aircraft for the LA to Australia crossing:
“If possible I'd be on the 380 as opposed to the 789. Quieter, smoother. The 380 is an absolute delight whereas the 789 has some good areas and some bad ones”
On the seat itself; the same poster warns one A380 kept its original cabin, which is why we confirm the aircraft:
“A380 and B787 business class seats are the same, even for couples travelling together if you're in the middle seats.”
