Qantas reveals secret design hack that will change flying in economy forever
As rival airlines try to cram more passengers in like sardines, Qantas has announced a game-changing secret feature that will making economy class on the Flying Kangaroo’s new Dreamliner aircraft more comfortable than ever.
Aside from limiting the number of economy passengers to 166 to reduce cramping, Qantas has announced it would be creating a spring-loaded foot net as the base of the seat in the front, which passengers can place their feet inside.
This is a step away from traditional foot rests, cradling passenger’s feet and calves and providing more solid support on long-haul journeys around the world.

The new flight also comes with specially design bespoke fabrics, mood lighting and special trays to hold tablets and make the overall economy experience more enjoyable.
The new fleet of aircraft reportedly also have integrated “advanced technology” to help reduce turbulence, as well as improved entertainment options.
“One of the main features is the wing. It’s made of composite fibre. You can also expect larger windows, better air quality to help reduce jet lag, and ride dampening technology to reduce the effects of turbulence,” said Qantas Captain Alex Passerini.
