Qantas Economy Plus Launching Feb 2026

[Big John]

Yesterday's QF 549 BNE to SYD had what was called a "small engineering issue" (in reality, a broken armrest).

So another passenger and I had to vacate our seats. The other passenger was moved one row forward.

I was moved to row 4, which was Economy Plus.

In other words, I got a free "upgrade" !!

That’s a really nice stretch on the hamstrings (180cm height) so can just reach the seat ahead now with the expanded space

This is definitely a privilege for WP to access Row 4 for $0.00 From T-80. @elanshin

What's the go with this?
Supposedly complementary for Platinum. but it wants to charge me $105???

Certainly not consistent with what the website says. Subtle "enhancement" for P1 only?

I assume that’s inside T-80 but outside T-24?

I believe that’s technically correct but we’ve had it “waved” on multiple flights. Maybe they haven’t waived it because the other Y+ seats look chockers? Keep monitoring, Row 4 might become “free” to select closer to OLCI but I’ve seen Row 4 then get blocked immediately after OLCI opens.

Sat in 37A of a 330-200… usually reserved for crew rest on international. As crew rest it was a nice a ‘new’ seat - as in ‘not well worn’ - and came with 34 inches of pitch.

If that’s what the new economy plus will be like… a sweet ride! Very comfortable… able to stretch out fully and a good width on the airbus (the extra inch makes a huge difference).

I did a T-80 seat select this morning and no charge was applied.
