Qantas Economy Plus Launching Feb 2026

This popped up on my Facebook.

According to it, all 737s are done now and 330s to dtwrt later in the year.

Do we know if they’ll do all A330s? I just read something that implied Y+ is coming as part of the refresh but isn’t that limited to 10x A332s?

The seat maps are yet to be updated so only the AY aircraft show the existing extra legroom seats.

Good question.

I see they're still blocking the bulkhead seats for Plats. That being the case, I'm happy to continue booking Scoot+ Row 1 (instead of Qantas) to SIN.
 
I was surprised on an ADL-AKL return trip last weekend to see that the upgrade costs were the same as if I were flying to Melbourne. I waited as a LTG until checkin time and managed to score row 5 both times. The extra room was especially appreciated on the four and half hour return flight - though I think the crew should do a second drinks service on this flight, particularly westbound.

TIP: when they’re clearing rubbish, politely ask “Any chance of another?”. They sometimes have them there and then but will bring back some.
