Qantas Economy Plus Launching Feb 2026

[SYD]

Yep sorry should have explained that better .
The dummy booking is for a flight tomorrow that I’m also travelling on but made a dummy booking using a different FF account for a different status level.
Maybe like your experience when check-in opens it goes back to being blocked.

How or why do you have a second QFF account? But meanwhile, hopefully the shadow appears!

Ours is still showing blocked even though I’ve not seen a WP shadow for ages. I suspect they’re only blocked to non-P1/CL now - which is not a bad thing.





Well, until there’s a cancellation.

They have access to another QFF account (like a partner), and that account has WP status because as a WP1 they gifted them that status.

Yes, I figured that. It was getting direct access to both was confusing.

Row 5 is the new row 4.

Does row 4 still have the most legroom in economy, bar the emergency exit rows?

Recent reports suggest more legroom than the exist rows.

the new economy plus seats have a lot of legroom. They feel like the exit rows

Flying BNE-DRW. First time in economy +.
As previously mentioned here, it’s free for WPs.

What’s interesting is that row 4 never became available to select. Checked at T-80, T-24 and T-1. Not even for a fee.

Only one pax sitting on 4F. The remaining 5 seats in row 4 are empty. He must be a P1.

Weird that there wasn’t an option to pay or use points for row 4.

I’m flying Brisbane to Sydney and am Platinum.
I booked 5D originally at no charge. Row 4 was to cost $60. On checking seats again about 1/2 hour prior to checkin I was offered row 4 for free. It said 100% discount.
I am in 4D with no one next to me. Likewise there is a pax in 4C also with no one next to them. .
Row 4 I believe has more legroom than J and certainly more than row 5.
Feels a bit strange with the divider gone…
Flight is 3/4 full with many plus seats empty and only 2 extra legroom seats occupied.

By check-in do you mean T-24. So you checked at T-24.5 for example

I saw the “free” Row 4 (posted above) a couple hours before OLCI opened. I don’t know how long prior it had switched from $50 to Free.

Useful to get data points.

 

[MJW Kangaroo]

I wonder now the divider has gone between J & Y and there is no signage say Business class only past this point, which lavatory can economy plus passengers use. I didn’t hear any announcement but could have missed it …

 

[SYD]

They made an announcement on my flight. But just that there are 2 at rear for those seated in Rows 4 to 29. Apparently J cabin have to cross their legs…
