New Qantas boarding and disembarkation music (2025)

[Notyourbag]

Interesting find today!

30 second teaser of the new Qantas boarding and disembarkation music is available on Spotify (not sure how to link it but it's searchable). Wonder when it will go live?

We were told it was being rolled out from last week but will depend when the aircraft has its IFE updated

cannot be as good as Emirates - The Girl from Ipanema - always puts a smile on my face...

Wow, the desperate efforts rusted-on long-suffering Qantas FFs will make to reconcile their continued patronage of Qantas!

 

[DejaBrew]

The only real difference I'm hearing in those previews is that the disembarkation music includes clapping.

Can't say it's doing much for me on first impressions. Also, something tells me that this wasn't the most important thing that Qantas needed to address...

I really didn’t like the old one, and this one doesn’t wow me either.

The piano instrumental of “I Still Call Australia Home” was really good. That’s what it needs to be like, background music. These other ones are too dramatic, and when you hear them every flight for 5 years they get old very quickly.

Honestly to actual very frequent flyers you kind of drown out the boarding music as it just becomes white noise and part of the routine.

Its more for your irregular flyers or first time flyers for the airline imho as part of the experience.

Agreed for this iteration and the last iteration but whenever I hear the piano rendition of I Still Call Australia Home, it emits some sort of nationalistic pride.

Between this and the lack of PDB, I think I'll still rather stay back in the lounge for a few extra minutes

Must say that the now old one was much better than this. Seems like a cheap remix in certain parts. I Still Australia Home is obviously the best of the best.

It may just be me, but I'd prefer to board without music, if I need it I can put my earphones in.

Think its proven to make people board faster. Southwest plays music from the boarding gate.

It's also available on Apple Music:

Nothing like medley of Buddy Holly, Big Bopper and Richie Valens to get pax into the spirit.
