Qantas A330-200 cabin refurbishments

The other result of these refurbs and 332 retirements, is I suspect it means no widebodies on any Australian domestic routes from late 2026 or early 2027.

The odd 787/a350-900 going to PER?

I’m not convinced - the population is growing and the peak time flights are expensive/ always booked out as it is, with the flying time and time change there is a limit to adding many more flights, capacity over frequency makes sense for transcon

Might be an occasional reposition flight depending on timings but expect it won't be the norm as today.

Domestic capacity is coming from the much larger 321XLRs - which will replace the early 738s and 332s.

Seatback IFE looks like it will become an international brand standard, whereas domestic will be BYO.

Oh please Qantas, they never learn, do they! Just get new aircraft instead.

I already HATE those A330s with a passion on the longer legs to and from Asia and I am talking Business class here. The seat itself might be similar to what is found on the 787 (but highly annoying with the divider if you travel as a couple) but the rest of the airplane clearly show what old rust buckets they are.

Use them as they are on the trans-Tasman or on routes to Perth instead of torturing us with these inadequate 737s. And for the love of gawd, use something a bit more “contemporary” on the longer routes to Asia.

Be careful what you wish for
