Get ready for a comfy ride! Jetstar, Australia's popular low-cost airline, is giving its Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners a major facelift. This isn't your average update; they're revamping the cabins to make your flight even better. The airline has planned a multi-million dollar project to upgrade its eleven Dreamliners, starting in January 2026.

These planes, which fly to destinations like Honolulu, Tokyo, and Bangkok, are due for a change. Since their introduction in 2013, they've flown over 54, 000 times and carried millions of passengers. Jetstar wants to make your journey more comfortable and connected.

The biggest change is the new seats. Both economy and business class will get next-generation Recaro seats. In economy, expect seat-back holders for your devices, a power outlet, and adjustable headrests. Business class gets a "generous" recline and device holders. Plus, every seat will have a power outlet for charging.

Jetstar is also introducing inflight WiFi for the first time! You can stream movies or surf the web. And guess what? Removing those old seat-back screens will save fuel, making the flights more eco-friendly.

For the crew, there's a new lie-flat crew rest area at the rear of the plane. This means they can relax on longer flights, and it opens the door to new destinations like India or Sri Lanka. It also frees up seats, allowing Jetstar to sell more tickets.

The planes will get a fresh coat of paint too, matching the new Airbus A321LRs in the fleet.
