The newly-configured aircraft are fitted with 364 seats: 58 Business, 36 Premium Economy and 270 Economy. The seats in all three cabins have won awards for their design and comfort, including the 2009 Australian International Design Award for the Economy seat.

There are five Boeing 747-400 aircraft already operating on selected B747 routes including Brisbane-Los Angeles, Sydney-Dallas, Sydney-Santiago, Sydney-Los Angeles- New York, and Brisbane -Singapore. By the end of June, Qantas will have six newly-fitted B747-400 aircraft operating on these long haul routes.

For First customers travelling between Australia and the US, the A380 First suite will continue to be available on QF11 and QF12 between Sydney and Los Angeles and QF93 and QF94 between Melbourne and Los Angeles.

The remaining three newly-fitted B747-400 aircraft will be introduced across the long haul Pacific routes and Brisbane-Singapore by the end of October 2012.
