Air NZ to offer economy class 'beds' on long haul
None
Air New Zealand will offer flat beds to economy class passengers on some flights later this year. The national airline has designed a Skycouch, which can be folded flat to the seat in front and will be big enough for a couple or a couple with a small child.
It will take the space of three normal economy class seats and cost two seats at standard prices and a third at half price. They will be available on the the airline's new fleet of Boeing 777-300. The airline says the couches and a general makeover of the cabins in the new planes is aimed at revitalising long haul travel. (Reuters)
