As per David's article:

"Older aircraft which joined the Flying Kangaroo's fleet without seatback screens, including those handed down from Jetstar as part of the low-cost airline's upgrade to the Boeing 787, will see economy passengers handed an iPad to use with Q Streaming."

EBA (A332) due to be rolled out end of this month, I've been told EBB to follow end of Feb.

I had the displeasure of flying to Perth on EBB on the 19th December.
Drop down screens showing Teenage Mutant Turtles that required rebooting a number of times. Great but there were not that many kids on board this flight.
Interestingly Qantas gave me an addittional 1000 points for entertainment for this trip.
One cabin crew member told me EBB was part of the stolen generation!

I got to check out EBA today after it's first flight. J class is the same as EBV including the IFE. Y class instead of a built in monitor there is an iPad holder. Ipad minis are supplied and include a cable to keep them charged onboard via a seat back USB port.

Thanks Adam!

Two questions:

Does Y class have the new style seat covers and leather headrests?

And does Y class still have the drop down overhead IFE as well as the iPads?

Thanks

Brad, Y class does have the same seat fabrics. As for the dropdown screens I'm not sure, I'll check it out next time I see it.

G'day brad
I'm currently on EBA and as Adams has mention it dose have leather head rest and fabric seating.
Also new bulk heads, carpet and curtains.
During the flight the drop down screens have not been deployed.
Cabin crew have to do the safety procedures as the iPad minis are not allowd in the iPad holder during taxi, take off and landing.
Hope this helps.

Joe

Thanks guys.

So the Y class seat covers are the new (red) style ones like on EBV?

Cheers
