Qantas customers request exercise bikes, virtual reality for 20-hour flights
Qantas Airways said Monday that customers were requesting in-flight innovations such as exercise bikes and virtual reality relaxation to pass the time on proposed 20-hour non-stop flights from Sydney to London. The airline expects to order Airbus A350 or Boeing 777X jets capable of flying the world's longest-ever commercial route later this year, with the first services starting in 2022. Focus group research as well as customer surveys of those who have flown on its 17-hour non-stop route from Perth to London have found health and wellness are the top trends, Qantas said. Passenger suggestions include spaces for gentle exercise, providing wireless noise-cancelling headsets and installing an in-flight cafe with both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages and snacks, the airline said. <br/>
