Qantas have just released that they will announce their brand new Premium Economy product for the 787 on the 23rd of February (2 days away) in Sydney. At this stage, all we know is that the product will be in a 2-3-2 configuration according to the official seat map. For more information on the aircraft, read here.
The long-standing rumor has been the Thompson Cozy Suite could be the new product, but many have rejected talks regarding the seats. Could It be the cozy suite?

Another possible product could be something along the lines of Air New Zealand’s Premium Economy on their 777-300ER, It’s not a bad seat for short people but for tall travelers it’s not too comfortable. Could it be something like this?

Lastly, could it be similar to the standard Premium Economy many airlines now offer? I doubt it. Alan Joyce has said he want’s the 787 to feature a ‘revolutionary product,’ ruling out the most standard of Premium seating.
