Qantas Economy Plus Launching Feb 2026

[esquire]

Was in Row 5A today on a 737 with economy plus with in seat entertainment but there was no divider at all. The seat was incredibly uncomfortable width wise - the alignment meant the column between the two windows was up against the seat - my right arm was over into 5B. Of course the flight was full so one of us had to sit learning forward. Now Ive sat in lots of 5A and 5D in the past and had no issues so wondering if anyone else had noticed this?. Definitely not a premium seat.

Thanks for reminding me. I was seduced by the econ+ and thought I might fly in Y on the short domestic sectors again. The last time I flew Y MEL-SYD a year or two ago, adverse weather saw flights delayed/cancelled. I was shunted from 1 flight to another and back to my original flight. I ended up in a middle seat. 3 men with broad shoulders made for an incredibly uncomfortable flight.
