Qantas seat maps: which aircraft QF actually flies
Qantas (QF) operates 13 distinct aircraft types across 102 airports in 2LNR's schedule data, including Boeing 737-800, De Havilland Canada Dash 8-400, and Embraer E190. A fleet this varied is exactly why a seat number means different things on different departures of the same route: the cabin you get depends on which airframe is assigned. Every aircraft below carries the routes QF actually flies it on, how far those routes run, and the cabin configuration QF records for it where there is one.

The Qantas fleet, as actually flown
Aircraft types QF currently schedules on its own metal, each with the nonstop routes it operates, how far those routes run and the cabin configuration QF records for it. Regional flying under the QF brand counts as QF metal; flights QF markets but another airline operates do not.

Routes it flies most
Route counts are distinct directional nonstop city pairs in 2LNR's schedule data. Where an airline files a family code without naming a variant, the card reads as the family: that is what was filed, and guessing the airframe would be worse than saying so.
Distances are great-circle miles between the two airports, rounded to the nearest ten, not the track a flight actually files. A longest route is shown only where every one of that aircraft's routes could be measured, and a typical route only where most of them could; where the measurement was too thin, the figure is left out rather than estimated.
Configurations are the aircraft names QF itself records in 2LNR's reference. They are not seat counts and not a cabin layout, and the reference carries no date we could stand behind, so none is claimed. Airlines retrofit cabins and can assign a different aircraft on the day, so treat them as context rather than as what you will board. Where nothing is recorded, nothing is shown.
How to see the seat map for your QF flight
The useful version of this question is per flight, not per aircraft type.
Add the flight, then open its live map
On Pro, 2LNR reads the seat map for the specific QF flight and date you are looking at, scores the open seats inside your own cabin and marks paid seats as paid. It is read at the moment you ask rather than stored, so an aircraft swap shows up as a different map instead of a wrong one.
Then let it watch
Cabins churn in the last days before departure as blocked rows release and upgrades clear. Seat monitoring re-reads the map on a cadence that tightens as departure approaches and tells you when a better seat opens, or when the seat you hold changes underneath you.
More on that in seat monitoring.
If you want a cabin diagram instead
2LNR does not publish stored cabin drawings or per-seat comfort ratings for QF aircraft, and this page will not pretend otherwise. For browsing a layout on an aircraft you have not booked, a maintained diagram library such as AeroLOPA is the right tool.
Frequently asked questions about Qantas (QF) aircraft
What aircraft does Qantas fly?
13 aircraft types appear on Qantas's own metal in 2LNR's schedule data, reaching 102 airports, including Boeing 737-800, De Havilland Canada Dash 8-400, and Embraer E190. The full list is on this page, with the nonstop routes each one operates and the recorded cabin configuration where there is one. Regional flying under the QF brand is counted as QF metal; flights QF markets but another airline operates are not.
Does 2LNR publish QF seat maps by aircraft type?
Not as static diagrams. 2LNR reads the LIVE seat map for a specific QF flight and date, which is a different thing from a stored cabin drawing: an aircraft swap shows up as a different map rather than a wrong one. If you want to browse a cabin layout for an aircraft you have not booked, a maintained seat-map library such as AeroLOPA is the right tool, and this page says so rather than pretending otherwise.
How do I see the seat map for my QF flight?
Add the flight to 2LNR and open it. Pro plans pull that departure's live seat map, score the open seats inside your own cabin, and mark paid seats as paid. 2LNR can then keep watching the map for a better seat, which is the part a static QF cabin diagram was never able to do.
Where does this QF fleet information come from?
From the schedules 2LNR collects continuously and uses to build its own route map: every aircraft listed here is one QF has filed against a nonstop route it operates, and the counts are the routes in that data. It is a picture of what is scheduled, not an aircraft register, so a type QF owns but is not currently scheduling will not appear. Route lengths are great-circle distances between the two airports rather than flown track miles.
What is the longest route Qantas flies?
Of the routes in 2LNR's schedule data, the longest QF operates on its own metal is London (LHR) to Perth (PER), about 9,010 miles great-circle, flown on the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner. That is the distance between the two airports rather than the track the flight actually takes, and it is the routing rather than the aircraft that decides it: QF schedules more than one type on many of its routes.
