The first Jetstar Dreamliner refit took off from Melbourne to Phuket on 7 April 2026, showcasing the new-look cabins and inflight Wi-Fi that will be progressively rolled out across all 11 of the low-cost carrier’s international Boeing B787 fleet.
The Jetstar Dreamliner refit showed off its major multi-million-dollar cabin refresh in the 787 fleet’s most significant transformation to date, due for completion in late 2027.
Business and economy cabins feature new seating, seatback device holders and dual high-power USB-C charging points.
In a Jetstar B787 first, inflight Wi-Fi will now be available via Viasat to stay connected in the air.
Business Class passengers will receive free access to Streaming-Plus for unlimited inflight entertainment and internet access, while Economy customers can purchase Streaming-Plus from $25 or Social Plus from $20 for onboard Wi-Fi.
The business cabin has more than doubled in size, increasing from 21 seats to 44 to meet demand. The new cushioned seats feature a 38-inch seat pitch, seven-inch recline and six-way adjustable headrest as well as calf and foot rests and in-arm tray tables with a cocktail table.
In the new B787 economy cabin, cushioned seats offer a six-way adjustable headrest and a 30-inch pitch and five-inch recline – two inches more than Jetstar’s A320neo and A321LR aircraft.
In addition, expanded crew facilities include six lie-flat rest bunks at the aircraft’s rear, allowing Jetstar to operate flights of up to 16 hours.
Jetstar Group CEO Stephanie Tully said: “The cabin transformation is remarkable, but what really matters is what it means for our customers – more comfort, more connectivity, and soon, more destinations.”
To coincide with the delivery of the first Jetstar Dreamliner refit, the newly launched BidCash allows customers to place a cash bid for a Business Class seat upgrade on international B787 flights.
KARRYON UNPACKS: The Jetstar Dreamliner refit signals a strategic push into premium leisure, giving advisors more upsell potential while aligning low-cost long-haul with evolving traveller expectations for comfort, connectivity and flexibility.
