Qantas' New A321XLR

[ednnf]

Good fun boarding QF467 at the moment. Half the people being giddy, taking pictures and queuing up to board 45 minutes before the flight. The other half with no idea what’s going on other than the “this plane feels new” comment when walking down the aisle.View attachment 471997View attachment 471996View attachment 471998

this can confirm no curtain

Yep no curtain lol.

Also, crew struggling quite a bit serving business class and hot food options had run out by row 3. Overhead lockers are great and the device holder is nice but otherwise it’s no different to a 737 and the usual Qantas cheapness hasn’t changed.

Quieter ride maybe?

The A320 family has always has a wider cabin than the 737 family. About 200mm more.

Seemingly no rope or curtain between J and Y - are Y pax going forward?

Apparently the curtain will feature from aircraft #4 onwards, and be refitted to the others eventually.

Cabin altitude is significantly lower, noticeable probably on transcons

Probably but not on a Sydney Melbourne flight. Its a nice new shiny toy, but as per usual when Qantas claim something is groundbreaking it tends to not be.
