cabin divider even smaller than the one on 737. Now with a hold in the middle too.
when are they gonna bring back the privacy curtain on narrow body aircraft?
No.Does the new a220 come with the small overhead screens?
IFE absolutely not required on any sort of domestic jet.With months/years of speculation surrounding the QF (Link) A220 now over, the focus is starting to shift to the A321XLR interiors and specifically two factors; lie-flat seats and IFE.
It’s safe to say the former is impossible without the latter, but if they don’t go for lie-flat seats in J then IFE on the A321XLRs is simply not guaranteed since QF have opted not to install IFE screens on an IFE-appropriate aircraft (A220) and it may set a precedent. While it’s obvious and certain that the 321XLRs will have fast and free wifi I am disappointed by the fact that I can’t bank on them having IFE screens.

That may be true but to have a ‘premium cabin’ nowadays IFE is a must regardless of whether the plane has Wifi or not. And the A220 and A321XLRs are not purely domestic jets, Qantas has signalled that the A220 will operate short-haul international flights in the not so distant future where it will be up against the likes of SQ’s 737MAX and NZ’s A320neo which are fully equipped with seatback screens. The A321XLR will go even further.IFE absolutely not required on any sort of domestic jet.
I don't believe QLink operate any international flights currently and I doubt that'll change. More than likely there will be a QF mainline configured and painted A220.That may be true but to have a ‘premium cabin’ nowadays IFE is a must regardless of whether the plane has Wifi or not.

QLink operate quite a few international flights these days to destinations in NZ, East Timor and the Solomon Islands and they’re flying to Singapore soon (starting 9 December). Not sure what year you are living in.I don't believe QLink operate any international flights currently and I doubt that'll change.

QLink internationally would be weird otherwise
QF have the golden handcuffs to compensate the lack of IFE in premium cabins against SQ and NZ.That may be true but to have a ‘premium cabin’ nowadays IFE is a must regardless of whether the plane has Wifi or not.

Have you flown on an AA A321 recently?That may be true but to have a ‘premium cabin’ nowadays IFE is a must regardless of whether the plane has Wifi or not.

Huh I am very much out of the loop then! Didn’t realise they were flying internationallyQLink operate quite a few international flights these days to destinations in NZ, East Timor and the Solomon Islands and they’re flying to Singapore soon (starting 9 December).

Well they do also have an ex-CX executive on the Board, maybe he could and should raise his voice a bit more to offset the ‘influence’ of Parker.QF likes to follow AA things (gee, I wonder who could possibly have influence there....)
Of course it works well…it’s VA, who are a mid-tier short-haul airline situated somewhere between a ULCC and a full service airline.Regarding domestic only, VA it's byo tablet in biz & works well.
