oneworldQantas Business Class
Qantas business class is the benchmark for long-haul Australia travel today, with lie-flat Business Suites on the A380 and 787 fleets. Looking ahead: Project Sunrise's ultra-long-haul A350-1000ULR — ordered in 2022 for non-stop Sydney-London and Sydney-New York flights — has faced repeated delivery delays, most recently pushed from December 2026 to April 2027, with passenger service now targeted for October 2027 (tickets on sale from February 2027). That future cabin will carry 52 lie-flat business suites (Safran Seats, 1-2-1, sliding door) — a genuinely different, more private product from today's A380/787 Business Suites, but not yet available to book.

Editor's note — Qantas
What we've learned booking Qantas
Qantas Business on the A380 upper deck is one of the best long-haul products in the Asia-Pacific market — an Australian carrier that's been steadily investing in their premium offering while maintaining the friendly, no-nonsense service style that defines the Qantas experience. The A380 upper deck Business seat is fully flat with direct aisle access, and the catering features Australian produce (Margaret River wines, Barossa Valley cheese, Neil Perry-designed menus) that makes the 15-hour LAX-SYD flight feel more like a culinary experience than an endurance test. The 787 Business on some frequencies is a step below — check aircraft type before booking. Qantas' Oneworld membership means BA and AA frequent flyers earn full miles, and the Qantas Frequent Flyer program itself has excellent redemption rates for premium cabin awards. Our consolidator rates on Qantas produce meaningful savings on the LAX-SYD and SFO-SYD routes, where the gap between consolidator and retail can be $800-1,200 per ticket. For any US-Australia routing, Qantas non-stop from the West Coast is our default recommendation — the product and the direct routing both justify the fare premium over connecting alternatives.

Airline overview
Qantas business class is the benchmark for long-haul Australia travel today, with lie-flat Business Suites on the A380 and 787 fleets. Looking ahead: Project Sunrise's ultra-long-haul A350-1000ULR — ordered in 2022 for non-stop Sydney-London and Sydney-New York flights — has faced repeated delivery delays, most recently pushed from December 2026 to April 2027, with passenger service now targeted for October 2027 (tickets on sale from February 2027). That future cabin will carry 52 lie-flat business suites (Safran Seats, 1-2-1, sliding door) — a genuinely different, more private product from today's A380/787 Business Suites, but not yet available to book.
Founded in 1920, Qantas is headquartered in Australia and operates to 104+ destinations across 80+ countries. The fleet is built around Airbus A380, Boeing 787-9 and Airbus A330-200 for long-haul operations, with additional narrowbody types on regional routes. Qantas is a oneworld alliance member, which gives passengers access to lounges and booking across all partner carriers worldwide.
The business class experience
Qantas Business Suites features Lie-flat with direct aisle access (A380/787). Seat width is 22 inches and fully extended bed length is 80 inches — comfortable for passengers up to about 6'3" (190cm) to sleep fully flat. The seat layout on Qantas's long-haul widebody aircraft typically offers direct aisle access for every business class passenger, so you never have to climb over a seatmate.
In-flight entertainment is delivered via Seatback 4K touchscreen IFE. Dining on Qantas: Neil Perry-designed menu, premium Australian wines. Baggage allowance in business class: 2 × 32kg checked. All flights include amenity kits, premium bedding, and priority boarding/baggage handling.
Lounges and ground experience
At the home hub: Qantas First Lounge (SYD/MEL) — spa, Neil Perry dining, barista coffee. At other airports worldwide: oneworld partner lounges worldwide. Lounge access is included with your business class ticket — you show your boarding pass at the lounge entrance and receive food, drinks, WiFi, and dedicated workspaces until boarding time.
On the ground at departure, Qantas business class passengers get dedicated check-in counters, fast-track security lanes where available, and priority boarding. At arrival, baggage is tagged with priority labels and comes out first — typically saving 15-30 minutes versus economy on heavily-loaded flights.
What travelers say
“Neil Perry's dining program is genuinely outstanding, not just marketing language. The Sydney First Lounge with its spa is a real standout among global lounges. A380 upper deck business class is spacious and consistently well-regarded. If you're specifically hoping for the new Project Sunrise ultra-long-haul suites, know that service isn't expected until October 2027 at the earliest — today's bookings are on the current A380/787/A330 fleet.”
