Qantas backtracks on 33-inch legroom pledge for the world’s longest flight

Qantas’s plan for the Sydney–London Project Sunrise ultra-long-haul flights on the Airbus A350-1000ULR included a promised 33″ economy pitch, but the airline has backtracked. Instead of a uniform 33″ seat, the cabin will feature a mix of 32″, 33″, and 34″ pitches, with an economy-plus section at 34″ achieved by shrinking the back of the economy to 32″. The move preserves some space benefits but undermines the original promise of universal 33″ legroom, prompting criticism of the airline’s hype versus delivery on the world’s longest flight.
