VIRTUAL LUXURY: The Australian airline will be offering virtual reality headsets to its first class customers.
The Australian national carrier is partnering with Samsung to trial the use of Gear VR headsets for a more immersive in-flight entertainment experience.
In what Qantas claims is a world first for an airline, first class travellers on select Airbus A380 services between Australia and Los Angeles will be able to experience 360° virtual tours of select destinations and other specially developed content as well as accessing the usual selection of Hollywood blockbuster movies.
