Premium Economy cabins to be added to Qantas LAX services
Qantas has just announced that it will be applying its Premium Economy product to select east-coast services to Los Angeles from the end of the year.
Having successfully rolled out the cabin on its services to Bangkok, Hong Kong, Singapore, Johannesburg and London, Qantas will launch it on select Sydney–Los Angeles services from the 14th of November, 2008. Melbourne will receive the product from the 19th of December.
“We have been delighted with the complimentary customer feedback on Qantas’ Premium Economy cabin, which demonstrates a clear place for a product of this type and quality,� said John Borghetti Qantas Executive General Manager.
“[Also] forward bookings show high levels of demand,� he adds.
With six B747-400s currently offering Premium Economy, Qantas expects this number to hit 18 by the end of the year.
Qantas has already priced LAX return fares (including taxes, levies and charges) from $3,999 ex-Sydney and $4,080 ex-Melbourne.
Qantas’ Premium Economy seats offers a 42″ pitch, 9″ recline, 19.5″ width, with ergonomic cushioning and an adjustable headrest. Other extras include an in-arm touch screen video monitor, Neil Perry inspired menu with premium wines, and pre-take off refreshments.
Airport extras include priority check-in, boarding, disembarkation, separate cabin crew, and additional hand baggage allowance.
Qantas is also expecting to roll-out the Premium Economy product on services to Buenos Aires, New York and San Francisco throughout 2009.
