Impressive... I fly LH all the time between Detroit and Shanghai... So many other Airlines are far behind.. .Delta is catching up with their Business Class on the 777 (Only a couple with the new seats... If Air New Zealand had a flight from the US to Asia... I would be all over that..
Without a doubt the best damn airline in the world, the first class lounge at Auckland airport was second to none, infact the washrooms in that airport were even better the the AA first class lounge in Houston. The service was fantastic and the first class reclining seat cubicles were amazing!
@iheartstrat Same here! I moved from NZ and live in the USA and I fly all the time. Its a true pain when they do that so I charged the seat as soon as he did it and then he put it back up =D
they are a brilliant airline i fly with them twice a yr from akl-lhr and theyre da best. i wondor how much any economy class ticket will cost for that type of comfort
Well done Air new zealand makes me proud to be a kiwi! and even better was voted top airline of 2010, way to go for a small country! NZ always gives the other countries a run for there money *****
The new Eco class looks good, you can only sleep like that if you are traveling with your partner or??? There will be heaps couples sleep on board then haha it should called Honey Moon class rather than Eco class
Well doesn't that look fine. Live in a flying vending machine for 24hrs, attended by women dressed in old curtains. Bring back the days of being woken suddenly by a buck-toothed crone screaching "Beef or Fish?!" That's what I need. Flying, the way it was meant to be.
SkyCouch, 3 seats or couch, yeah well if theres a full flight with the chances of you traveling alone you wont be able to turn it into a couch with 2 other randoms, well you could...but ya know.
@iheartstrat Same here! I moved from NZ and live in the USA and I fly all the time. Its a true pain when they do that so I charged the seat as soon as he did it and then he put it back up =D
I read somewhere NZ is looking into a price you can pay to reserve the third seat which is at a certain cost but not as expensive as another passenger purchasing the seat. Also only 11 rows (???) will be configured this way.
unfortunately, this is for long distance flights, such as New Zealand to Japan or to America. But I definitely do wish they did this with EVERY plane xD
they use A320'S to Oz mostly out of all international ports and sometimes 767's out of AKL but 737's are on domestic main centre flights only, they are being replaced with A310's in the next couple of years...
Then why did you ask....anyhow, I stand corrected on the thing with the Airbus, I thought it was A310s, apologies. I should know that, I fly on the airbus for Air NZ, but maybe coz Ive been off work for the last few months I missed that one :P
Lol A310's? you work for Air Nz? lol even someone who has little aviation knowledge should no that A310's are a 1980's airline, almost 30 years old??? These days you find those floating around deserts in the middle of Arizona??
dude I fly on the A320s, I dont wig out trying to decipher exactly which air craft are currently flying or not etc etc. just not that important to me. but its great you have a hobby
That lie flat economy is doomed from the start, look at the child at 0:38, if it was behind me bouncing on the back of the chair, I would probably end up strangling it.
So to get the flat bed option for economy that they are talking about, you need to have the entire row to yourself or with your partner (or very close friend!)... Looks nice though - I wonder if the pink uniforms have been tested out yet lol!
Bloody hell where can I get one of these planes
