Qantas announced it will nearly double A380 flying between Singapore and Sydney later this year, increasing premium seats on the route by up to 18 percent. The move will see Qantas operate the Superjumbo on 13 of its 14 weekly Singapore-Sydney services from 7 December, with the 14th service continuing with the airline’s Airbus A330. The additional premium seats will give customers more opportunities to travel in the aircraft’s First, Business and Premium Economy cabins and enjoy features like the unique onboard lounge.
The A380 features 14 individual First Class suites that convert into a 212-centimetre fully flat bed, 70 Business Suite seats and 60 Premium Economy seats. Premium passengers also have access to the aircraft’s upper deck lounge, with booth-style seating for 10 people, a self-service bar and the option to order signature drinks and snacks. Qantas operates First and Business lounges in both Sydney and Singapore.
The announcement comes as Qantas Frequent Flyers are able to boost their status or Qantas Points balance, with the much-anticipated ‘Twice as Rewarding’ offer returning this week.
