Can you believe that you can get a first class seat on a Qantas Boeing 747 just for paying for a business class ticket? You may think that it is impossible to score such a bargain from the "Queen of the Skies," but you can! Here is a little travel secret that is one of the favorite business class flight deals among Platinum-level frequent flyers and smart travelers.
First of all, you should know that a first class cabin is not available in all Qantas Boeing 747 jets. Most of these have converted to feature the new Skybed II business class seats, including the first class area in the nose of the jumbo jets.
However, a couple of the older Boeing 747 jets still have their original and nostalgic first class seats. You can usually find these first class seats on Boeing 747 flights from Sydney to Tokyo and Johannesburg. Occasionally, you may see them on flights going to Hong Kong, Santiago, and even Los Angeles.
However, Qantas only sells first class seats on Airbus A380s, its flagship jets, and not on its 747s. Therefore, business class passengers on these jumbo jet flights can get assigned to first class seats. The meals, wine, and other services are the same in this "first class" section as those offered in business class. So, what is so special about "first class"?
1) The first generation of Skybeds found in business class recline to an angled sleeper, but the old first class seats can fold down completely flat. If you are at nose of the plane, you will get a more restful sleep.
2) You are actually at the very front of the jet where the cabin tapers. It's capped by a coat closet. It is quite a unique location, to say the least!
This is one of the best business class flight deals around. So, what do you have to do to score one of these premium seats?
The key is to choose your seat as far in advance as you can. If you plan to book a business class flight on a Qantas 747, go to the "manage my booking" section of the airline's website. Then, just select your seats online. Remember, you may be spending 13 hours flying. If you spend a little time choosing your seats online, you can get the fully flat and comfortable "first class" seat instead of the business class Skybed that positions your body in a slope, at no extra cost to you.
So, if you're looking to take advantage of this great opportunity or maybe even looking to enjoy what Quantas has to offer then give us a call and we will ensure you receive the best deal we can find.
