Amazon’s LEO network plan to use Ka Band meaning the current antennas on Qantas aircraft should be able to work with them.

I guess this makes it the cheapest VA flight...

QF Mobile/pdf home printed boarding passes have it on it but yes connecting you won't get one unless asking. That being said in both Brisbane and Melbourne I've had no problems showing just the business class boarding pass.
