Default From Cattle to Cuddle Class !!!!Air New Zealand

Hi It may be of interest to some of you Air New Zealand in April 2011 are going to bring in a New Sky Couch in exhausted economy class .Passengers will have a chance to fully put their head down

777-300 planes will offer 22 sets of Sky Couches ideal for couples or families with two young children.
The upright Sky Couch seat will fold out to provide a Flat Area to rest on and will also be partially reclined with a retractable platform which can be raised to create a flat space across the footwell.

On flights on its new 777-300 only to and from Heathrow from April 2011.

Prices are expected to be more then a normal economy fare and quite affordable for some of you. How Cool is that you will even get a curtain

Personally I think the Qantas Premium Economy looks better I will let you know when we arrive in NZ in January. You may have seen that we have booked this flight on my earlier report.

Wink Re: From Cattle to Cuddle Class !!!!Air New Zealand
