Qantas Economy Plus Launching Feb 2026

Potentially AA will give QF Main Cabin Extra officially?
OT, but that’s probably just a website update?

Although, MCE has more perks (relative to regular whY), than just extra legroom.

$100 is steep for row 4, hopefully keeps it quiet for P1s.

I'm keen to see if shadows are much of a thing in Y+ or if they'll prefer to sell the seat, and keep shadows for the rear cabin.
 
Now that we’re inside T-80 for the first flights on the 6th I had a quick look and for WP row 4 becomes selectable but at a charge as previously reported. Not sure if will become free at check-in but as a P1 though I’m hoping not ;). Finally if the front row is just for sale to WP/OWE $100 is pretty steep for a 4 hour flight given they already get access to other extra legroom for free.

Im flying tomorrow and R4 became available to me as a WP at check-in/T-24.

This was the first thought I had when QF announced Y+. I usually stay away from rows 4-6 on golden triangle sectors, but reliably get them from row 7. I’ve booked into Y+ seats for a trip this week - we’ll see how I go…
