Qantas has reinforced its commitment to the region by offering this convenient gateway to the vibrant Philippine capital.
The first flight departed from Brisbane on Monday evening and will continue to operate four times a week. Business Class guests will be able to fly the route on a Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday at 7.15pm. With the flight time under 8 hours, the evening trip is the perfect amount of time for a nap in the fully flat Business Class suite.
Now adding more than 100,000 seats between Australia and the Philippines each year, there is more capacity for Business Class passengers wanting to visit the tropical destination. Qantas already flies daily services to Manilla from Sydney, meaning this addition will just strengthen the airline’s presence in the market.
Keep in mind that when flying home you may want to book an extra night in your hotel, as the Manilla to Brisbane flight departs at 2.45am and arrives at 12.20pm.
Get in touch with an airfare specialist and be one of the first to fly Business Class on the new route all while earning status credits and Qantas points.
Onboard the A330 in Business Class, you can expect 27 seats in a 1-2-1 configuration, each offering direct aisle access and converting to a fully flat bed.
Passengers will enjoy an 80-inch flatbed on the night flight, allowing travellers to get some shut-eye before the early morning arrival in Manilla.
With USB charging and AC power outlets, Business Class travellers can enjoy entertainment from their own devices for longer! Or be impressed by the 16-inch seat back touchscreen on selected flights, where you can wirelessly stream inflight entertainment to your personal device.
In terms of storage, Business Class guests will find a seat back pocket, storage under the console and a cocktail table for extra space to work. Passengers will have more ease in dining with the extendable in-arm tray table.
Qantas CEO Cam Wallace has commented on the new route and the benefits for all passengers.
“The Philippines is a very strong market for Qantas and we are pleased to be responding to demand for our services with new flights from Brisbane,” Wallace says.
“We know a lot of customers travel to Manila via Sydney, so this new direct flight will make it easier and faster for Queenslanders to get to the Philippines in a single hop.”
