Explore Qantas’ slick new Airbus A350 cabins, designed by David Caon, including minimalist first class suites
Designing an aircraft that ensures 238 people feel as good as can be expected after spending the best part of a day at 39,000ft could be something of a daunting challenge. It was a task set for David Caon, who was commissioned by Qantas to design the new cabins on its Airbus A350 jets, which, from 2025, will fly for up to 21 hours non-stop from London and New York to Sydney and Melbourne.
Business class suites come with sliding doors for privacy and feature a seat that folds down into a flat bed Caon’s first class cabins will set new standards. Comprising six large enclosed suites, arranged in a 1-1-1 formation, each comes with reclining seat, separate 2m-long bed, wardrobe, dining table and 32in TV. The colour palette is lighter than in the other cabins, as it is on Qantas’ A380, with eggshell seat fabrics ‘because first class is treated with kid gloves by passengers’.
