As you might or might not know Mark Newson is a designer and he works closely alongside Qantas. He’s designed the first lounges, the A330 suites, and even all the things onboard the A380. In 2014 Marc designed a mock-up of a 737 BBJ which was Qantas inspired, however, the idea never actually came to life and to this day remains a mock up. Here are the mock-up photos of the BBJ.
The 737 planned to have a master bedroom with an ensuite, sitting room, massage room, living room, dining room, crew quarters, galley and lavatories.
