First Look at Qantas A350 First and Business Cabins

Project Sunrise was first announced in May of 2022, and now we have a first look at the First and Business cabins on the aircraft that will fly passengers non-stop from Australia to New York and London from late 2025.

The flagship cabins are designed with ultra-long haul travel in mind. This will be trip of at least 18 hours and possibly as long as 20 hours, which would be the world’s longest direct commercial flight.

The main objective in cabin design is to give passengers more space. So Qantas has decided to configure its 12 Airbus A350s to seat 238 passengers compared to the 300-plus seat layout specified by other carriers.

The spacious First suite has a range of features to make customers feel like they are in a mini boutique hotel room. And they look great from the first few photos that have been released so far. They come complete with an extra-wide fixed bed, separate recliner chair, personal wardrobe, dining table for two and a 32” ultra-high definition TV.

Every Business suite will have direct aisle access for ease of moving around the cabin, and Qantas is incorporating sliding doors into the suite for privacy, if desired.

Other Business features include a 6ft 7in flat bed, generous storage (including a large mirror), cushioned leather ottoman, 18” ultra-high definition touch screen TV, large dining table and feature lighting.

First and Business will also offer multiple personal device charging options including wireless induction charging. The Qantas A350 will offer fast and free high-speed Wi-Fi with partner Viasat following completion of key satellite launches covering the Qantas international network. The aircraft will also feature Bluetooth connectivity allowing all customers to connect their own Bluetooth-enabled headset to the in-flight entertainment system.
