Qantas has confirmed the start of services by the Airbus A380 superjumbo in the new year. Flights from Heathrow will start on January 17 to Sydney via Singapore.
The delivery of the airline’s third A380 will see Qantas operate three return flights a week with the double deck aircraft.
Regional general manager UK, Ireland, Europe, Middle East and Africa, Stephen Thompson, said: “For our customers travelling to both Singapore and beyond to Australia, the A380 means extra space and comfort in every class.
“Qantas offers an all new suite in first class and a fully flat Skybed sleeper seat in business class.
“The aircraft features a 32 seat Premium Economy cabin and an all new the Economy Class seat featuring a sliding base that moves with the seat back to create a more comfortable, ergonomically tested position to aid sleep.”
He added: “In addition to giving us the opportunity to reinvent our product, this revolutionary new aircraft offered capacity and operating savings, as well as environmental improvements.”
The aircraft will offer passengers more than 100 on demand films, 350 television selections, 500 audio CDs, 30 PC-style games, and a selection of audio books, language tutorials, destination information, business education and radio channels.

I flew on Qantas to Singapore earlier this year on the A380 and it was fantastic. The completely flat bed in business class was amazing, and I'd highly recommend it. I was expecting to be a bit freaked out by the sheer size of the A380, but you board directly on to the business class level, and the cabin is divided up with partitions so you're not really aware of just how much of a giant it is. Can't wait to try it again!
