Qantas has announced that it will introduce the premium economy cabin on its services to Tokyo and Frankfurt as it retrofits six Boeing 747-400s with the new seats.
“Qantas currently offers premium economy on services to Bangkok, Hong Kong, Singapore, Johannesburg, London, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Buenos Aires. Increased demand for this product, particularly from our leisure travellers, means we are now rolling premium economy out on another two Qantas routes,” said CEO Alan Joyce.
