Qantas
Qantas unveiled new first and business-class suites for its longest routes last year. These suites feature fully enclosed sleeping spaces, lie-flat beds, and customizable lighting.
The nonstop flights, set to be launched in early 2025, are expected to be the world’s longest, connecting Sydney to New York and London.
Such journeys usually involve a stopover in places like San Francisco, Singapore, or Dubai, but in this instance, passengers will spend up to 21 hours in the air.
In May, the airline agreed to pay nearly 8,000 would-be passengers up to about $300 after the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission accused it of selling tickets for flights that it knew were canceled.
The company did not respond to Business Insider’s request for comment at the time. In a statement, it said “mistakes were made,” but that it “did not delay communicating with our passengers for commercial gain.”
