Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • Qantas will open bookings on 2 Feb and deploy the paid Economy Plus extra‑legroom product across 737s, A220s and A321XLRs from 6 Feb, with a planned extension to A330s (see prior Qantas rollout context) [source:d3e2d37c-a9f5-4fbc-975a-e54bb24daac3].
  • The inclusion of the A321XLR connects cabin configuration decisions to the A321XLR market and operational performance discussion (relevant for network and product planning) [source:7ae3f618-8282-48f4-b851-a801aa7673da].
  • The move aligns with other carriers adding intermediate premium products on both narrow- and widebodies, such as TAP's Premium Economy on A330neo/A321LR, providing comparators for product and revenue strategy [source:005b4416-1702-4d0a-8c1d-26711133feea].
