Qantas introduces new Business Class amenities

Qantas Airways has introduced a number of enhancements to its international Business service designed to help customers get a better night’s sleep. Key among the improvements to the business class cabin is a new sleep service that sees a mattress placed over the existing Skybeds on international flights, and customers offered duvets instead of blankets, for extra comfort. Business class customers will also enjoy exclusive Kate Spade New York and Jack Spade amenity kits, and have more control over their dining experience, with Select on Q – Eat, a service enabling customers to select from a wider menu by choosing their meal and when they would like to dine, before they board. According to officials, an initial trial of the Select on Q – Eat meal service on their Los Angeles route was well received by customers. Qantas will continue to trial its Select on Q – Eat meal service on select routes and will progressively introduce additional enhancements across its international network of A380s, B747s and A330s from mid-November. This follows Qantas’ recent announcement that it will offer a door-to-door chauffeur service to Business and First customers on long-haul flights longer than 12 hours, from April 2013, in connection with its proposed partnership with Emirates. The Qantas-Emirates partnership remains subject to regulatory approval.
