New Qantas Business Class A350
Yesterday, Qantas unveiled their new business class on the A350 and it’s drop dead gorgeous. It’s a tasty blend of creams, greys, and wood finishes. Some may think it’s a bit boring, but personally I think it looks understated and luxurious. They will be equiped with doors, nearly 4 foot high walls, and 80in bed, and large IFE screen. Let’s take a look at these bad mamma jammas…that may even come with pajamas 🙂 Full Presser

Stunning new business class, and hopefully, Qantas starts releasing some award space so we can not only try and book this new product once its available, but in general feel confident we can book Qantas award space in some pre-planned reliable fashion.

Main Cast:
Cards that earn flexible points and should be used on the bulk of your purchases.
