From 14th June, Qantas will be flying three times a week from Sydney to New York - via Auckland - for the first time since 2020. The route will transit through New Zealand (Auckland) - before a 17+ hour flight direct to New York. The flight previously operated via Los Angeles.
Business Class passengers will be in for a treat - as Australia's national carrier will be flying brand new 787 Dreamliner aircraft - and be providing them with complimentary designer pyjamas, amenity kits and even a New York-inspired menu - courtesy of chef-extraordinaire Neil Perry.
For a limited time, Business Class customers on the New York route will be offered a navy sleeper suit featuring a monogram of the Qantas “Roo” and Rebecca Vallance logo, incorporating the flight numbers “QF3” and “QF4” and a bespoke New York heart design.
They will also receive a custom-created Rebecca Vallance amenity kit, with a matching eyeshade instead of the Koskela amenity kit being rolled out across the international network. Australian designer Martin Grant will still be providing pyjamas for First Class passengers.
Qantas Creative Director Food, Beverage and Service, Neil Perry has created a range of New York inspired dishes to be added to the inflight menu to coincide with the launch of the new route.
New York inspired menu items across QF3, QF4 premium cabins:
- New York style spaghetti and meatballs
- Classic Reuben sandwich
- NY bagel with lox, cream cheese, capers and lemon
- General Tso chicken with smashed cucumber salad, steamed rice and broccolini
- Classic beef hot dog with sauerkraut and spicy brown mustard
- Seared beef fillet with creamed spinach and baked potato with sour cream and chives
- Pecan pie with crème fraiche
- New York style baked cheesecake with blueberry compote
The Qantas First Lounges in Sydney and Melbourne and the Auckland International Lounge will feature a New York inspired dish of the day for the month of June, along with Manhattan Spritz and Garibaldi cocktails.
Qantas has announced that it will fly Sydney to New York non-stop in 2025.
