Everything you need to know about Qantas Project Sunrise
Qantas’ Project Sunrise could change how Australians fly to Europe, with nonstop Sydney to London flights planned on specially configured Airbus A350 aircraft. In this episode of the Point Hacks Podcast, Tobias Venus speaks with Brandon Loo after his Project Sunrise media briefing and Airbus factory visit. They cover why London appears to be the obvious launch route, how Qantas is thinking about premium travellers, what makes the new First Class cabin different, and whether a 21-hour flight is really worth the time saving. For points collectors, the key question remains reward seat access. We discuss what travellers should watch as Qantas moves closer to launch. 🎬 Credits:Guest: Brandon Loo, Editor-in-ChiefProduced and hosted by: Tobias VenusVideo and audio produced by: TOBY TV PTY LTD | tobytv.com.au 💌 Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest reward seat alerts and bonus point offers - https://phk.ing/4giE4OA📰 See the latest point earning cards - https://phk.ing/4vNHxcS📖 Qantas adjusts Project Sunrise Economy Seats - https://phk.ing/4b2a5Xw📖 Project Sunrise Inaugural Route Announced - https://phk.ing/4fiCpXd❓ Ready to book?
