Qantas' New A321XLR

[cove]

We are in Perth so going to Sydney or Brisbane is quite different to Syd-Mel.

Qantas really need full recliner sleeper seats to avoid just matching Virgin seats.

The days of the lie-flat widebodies flying to/from Perth are over, other than positioning/ thru-Perth flights for 787s.

Maybe if Qantas get a 2nd batch of 321XLRs for Asian flying they might also appear for the same reason.

Little bit surprised by the interest in ultra long haul narrow body additions to the fleet, especially given the angst posters express about 737 transcon flights

Think it's more that it's the first new fleet type on the most common domestic routes (so ex A220s) in over 20 years.

I've got hope the seats are nicer than the 737. I notice a difference on NZs A320s compared to the 737s.
Mind you I also notice a difference on VA and like those better, but it's really just the hope!
