The airline is experimenting with new in-flight meals and cabin design to lessen the impact of jet lag.
“Given our geography, Qantas has a long history of using imagination and innovation to overcome the tyranny of distance between Australia and the rest of the world,” Qantas Group CEO Alan Joyce said in a statement. “Now that we have the aircraft technology to do these flights, we want to make sure the customer experience evolves as well, and that’s why we’re doing this research and designing our cabins and service differently.
Elsewhere, Qantas introduced a “Wellbeing Zone” aboard the new Airbus A350 jets. There, travelers will be able to stretch and follow on-screen exercise programs, with movement also helping to stave off jet lag. To create that space, the planes will seat just 238 passengers, about 100 less than other airlines.
In response to all these changes, the volunteer customers reported less severe jet lag, better sleep during the flight, and better cognitive performance in the two days after traveling. When Qantas officially launches these routes in 2025, it seems like getting to and from Australia will feel a whole lot better.
