Qantas is starting flights with new state-of-the-art aircraft on Canberra routes, with the first flight landing at the airport on Friday morning.
The long-serving Boeing 717 is being replaced by the Airbus 220. Qantas says the new planes are better in lots of ways: they are quieter; they have more overhead luggage space; they have Wi-Fi; seats in economy have more padding than those in the Boeings; there are charging ports for laptops and phones in economy seats.
