Qantas Economy Plus Launching Feb 2026

Soon Qantas will monetise the airflow device and the pillow and the IFE and toilet usage.
WHATS LEFT TO MONETISE ?
oh that’s right, the fly on the wall

I guess it gives more of an incentive to push towards LifeTime status.

I do miss being able to select row 4 at T-80. Selecting it free at check-in as a WP makes it harder to get as often many are looking at the same time.

I've enjoyed plenty of T-80 shenanigans, but overall I prefer that the changes make the experience slightly better for frequent flyers.

Don't foret Michael O'Leary's plan to have standing passengers. It didn't get traction but it's many years later and perhaps QF is thinking about it.

I think if they charged for IFE the cabin crew could go on strike. I doubt they will ever charge for IFE

Thats for JQ. They need to different the brands for all the corporates and pollies.

I've been plat and gold for years, its a one off year of silver before I come back up. So it sucks.
