Default Qantas A380 Refurbishment Program

The basic details of an A380 refurb from DeepAv Throat from ausbt.

https://www.ausbt.com.au/community/v...uites-upstairs

Qantas plans to begin the refresh of its A380 fleet in Q2 of 2018. One of the two 'spare' A380s from cancellation of MEL-DXB-LHR will backfill as each of the other 11 A380s undergoes a reconfig.

That reconfig will see the first class cabin moved from the main deck to the upper deck. The new suites will be 1-1 with a centre aisle and Qantas will reduce the number of suites from 14 to 10 or 12. Not known if the 'business class lounge' at front-right of the A380 will remain as a new first class lounge or be converted to a new first class loo.

The business class cabin will be pushed back and extend right to the tail, where there may be a new lounge area with snackbar. As has already been documented the new seats will be pretty much the same as on the Boeing 787.

Premium economy will move to where first class currently is, at the front of the main deck, and the new seats will be the same as on the Boeing 787. Just hope Qantas doesn't forget to add an extra couple of inches of pitch!

Economy will fill the remainder of the main deck, same seats as on the Boeing 787.
