The biggest travel changes coming to economy in 2024
Say goodbye to cramped seats and bad food, economy air travel is on the cusp of a transformative overhaul in 2024.
Passengers can expect a wave of enhancements that will redefine their in-flight experiences.
Airlines are investing heavily in cutting-edge technology and innovative cabin designs to make economy class more comfortable and enjoyable.
Gone are the days of cramped legroom and uncomfortable seats. Instead, spacious seating arrangements, ergonomic designs, and improved entertainment options await passengers.
Furthermore, sustainable travel is taking center stage, with airlines committing to eco-friendly initiatives such as reduced carbon emissions and the use of biofuels. Travellers can expect a greener, more environmentally-conscious flying experience.
With the integration of advanced connectivity, passengers can stay connected throughout the journey, ensuring seamless productivity and entertainment options. In-flight Wi-Fi and 5G connectivity will become the new standard.
In July, a new Qantas service will enable Australians to fly directly from Perth to Paris. Additionally, seasonal flights from Perth to Rome will recommence in June. Furthermore, Qantas is set to launch Sydney-to-Port Moresby flights in March.
Who’s interested in experiencing the comfort of Air New Zealand’s Skynest sleeper bunks? These pioneering economy pods, resembling sleeper train accommodations, will be offered to economy passengers later this year.

Scotland Yard has confirmed it is conducting a full criminal investigation into allegations that Lord Peter Mandelson leaked sensitive government information to Jeffrey Epstein while in public office. The probe centres on potential misconduct and whether any information was deliberately shared.

The United States has shot down an Iranian drone that approached the USS Abraham Lincoln in the Persian Gulf, marking a sharp escalation in regional tensions. The carrier was operating roughly 500 miles from Iran when the drone moved closer, despite efforts by US forces to de-escalate the situation.
A US Navy F-35C fighter jet launched from the Lincoln intercepted and destroyed the drone mid-air, with officials confirming no damage or casualties. The incident highlights growing concerns over military brinkmanship in one of the world’s most volatile waterways.
