XLR will eventually get a batch with lie flat J cabins, but the first batch is the standard recliner.

It irritates me that it’s fuel efficiency will likely see it on regular BNE/SYD/MEL-PER flights, but these are the exact flights where we want a lie flat seat!

Unless Virgin puts the pressure on by offering lie flat to PER, QF has little incentive to do so.
