Qantas will introduce an 'Economy Plus' extra‑legroom product on its single‑aisle fleet — 737s, A220s and A321XLRs — beginning February 2026. The enhanced economy offering will be rolled out across domestic, Trans‑Tasman and Pacific Island services to provide differentiated seating on short‑haul routes.

Briefing
Rollout begins in February 2026 on 737, A220 and A321XLR aircraft, changing cabin segmentation across domestic, Trans‑Tasman and Pacific Island networks.
Builds on Qantas's recent fleet programme and A321XLR introduction — an important operational context for where the product will be deployed (see Qantas putting A321XLRs into passenger service: https://hype.aero/?story=93e79154-90fe-4360-8826-5390315ab9bf).
Aligns with the group's A220 deployment and the regional shift toward narrowbody renewals and single‑aisle product differentiation (see Qantas A220 Trans‑Tasman expansion: https://hype.aero/?story=10b0dc4c-c526-49ce-bbbd-132fa312b680 and regional narrowbody renewals: https://hype.aero/?story=3e495c33-45f5-436b-a0d4-191f286cd122).
