Qantas' New A321XLR

Staggering that they continue to have blunders in the configuration department. I mean, seriously, what a joke.

I can't see that we've heard from the CEO since the commercial launch. So here's one report (probably paywalled, sorry)

Hmmmm ...

But lets be fair and hear how they listen.

The irony is they pinched those aircraft off JQ and no one would have batted an eyelid about the coughty config (pun intended). What was JQ thinking?…

They’re actually proper loos compared to what IB have shoehorned into the rear galley (all three loos).

It really is odd that they didn’t put a 3rd one portside aft, like many A321 operators have. They’re a bit pokey but do the trick. And don’t take away seats or $$$…
