Qantas Economy Plus Launching Feb 2026

I’m not sure there is increased room?

Definitely more room on the plane I was on. I could comfortably leave my window seat without the passenger beside me moving their legs. You can even tell the overhead PSU is more forward then it used to be.

We through Y from AKLSYD yesterday.. we are both WP and were automatically seated in 5B and 5C. We switched to 5A and 5C. On boarding we noticed that the division between business and economy has been removed. Row 4 has a generous amount of legroom but still has the issue of the entertainment screens that can’t be used during takeoff. We found row 5 to have a really generous amount of legroom. It was also noticeable that there were more empty seats towards the front of the plane, not like previous flights where the front was packed and there were empty rows at the back. I have seen this done on American Airlines and in New Zealand where they offer slightly more legroom for a small premium charge or free for frequent fliers.. I think it’s a nice bonus to be offered and if you don’t like the price there is no difference in your seat from what you used to be able to get.,
I like what Qantas has done
