Premium on QF domestic

QANTAS has released Premium Economy seats for sale to domestic travellers aboard its Boeing 787 Dreamliner service between Melbourne and Perth, extending a product previously available only to the airline’s international travellers.

Premium Economy fares on QF9/10 between the two cities are now available from $1,249 one way, joining the Economy and Business class fares already offered domestically on the 787.

A Qantas spokesperson said the seats represented the only Premium Economy product available domestically and provided an opportunity to further exploit a “well loved aircraft” on internal links.

Until now the Dreamliner’s 28 Premium seats have only been sold to international passengers travelling between Melbourne and Perth as part of the onward London Heathrow service.

With the new arrangements, unsold Premium seats will be available for Frequent Flyers to upgrade to with classic rewards.

Travellers can also earn 2,700 points for purchasing a Premium Economy Saver fare.

Premium passengers on the 787 will travel between int’l terminals and will need to conform to security requirements.

A passport or photo ID is needed, but domestic passengers must not use Smart Gates.
