Good to see that the angled business seating will be gone. New cabin looks very nice and modern
As far as I can see it's still angled.........at least in Business class. But now you have a door so you're more enclosed. I still think it's a stupid design.
@@angeliner59 Oh yeah it still is a bit angled but it is good there's now a door
This is only Busines Premier Lux. Regular business is still the same with a small change but still at an angle
@@angeliner59 It gives you more foot space while sleeping, which is one of the major issues when in sleep position on forward facing seats such as Singapore Airlines (you can't turn during your sleep!). It's much more private and the angle is small, so I think it's a good compromise....wish they could have just put full doors though on all the seats, surely that was possible?!
@@wholiveswhere apparently the crew have to be able to see a certain percentage of the passengers so they couldn't go higher with the doors
The Premium Economy looks fantastic - could rival some other airlines’ business class.
Always loved flying Air NZ. Great to see that some new stuff is on the way.
I flew to NZ and back in Jan 2016 for a study abroad from the United States, where I live. Air NZ was INCREDIBLE compared to US airlines. And y'all just took it up a thousand notches on top of that.
My fave airline! This is awesome!
Fantastic! It couldn't be better!
The best getting better, can't beat a smile
Amazing! Love Air NZ
Can’t wait for new business class. Looks brilliant.Well done
Looks like an amazing product!!! I look forward to the day I can get on that business class seat to NZ. The bluetooth option on the IFE is something I wish other airlines had.
Stupes
This is good, finally catching up!! 🥳🥳🥳
Can’t wait to use!
Will be flying with Air New Zealand soon can’t wait
Yay! It's about damn time 🤩
😂
that looks good air new zealand
KLM gifts minature blue Delft houses to their (Business class) customers. Remember the green tikis AirNZ used to give everyone back in the day? I still have mine. Would love to see this kind of thing again (if they didn't redo this already). 💚
oh i can't wait!
Can you get direct aisle access in business premier for wheelchair customers?
Great looking products, the lie flat economy option looks really interesting - will this be available for other class passengers too?
Both economy and premium economy passengers can option it. Business class already has a bed.
I notice that luxury seating doesn't have those terrible headrests that shove a smaller traveler's head forward painfully.
I traveled Air New Zealand, LAX to AKL and because my head came to just above the base of the headrest, I spent nearly 12 hours with my chin shoved nearly to my chest. It was extremely painful and on the way back I had to beg a flight attendant for 2 pillows so I could put them behind my back to push me out of reach of the torturous headrest. I almost didn't get it for safety reasons.
I don't see why only those able or willing to pay more should have the luxury of not having their head shoved onto their chest for the duration of the flight.
Here's some feedback, Air NZ: How about you make those headrests height-adjustable, or removeable? Not everyone is a Kiwi giant.
They are adjustable 😂
Kia Ora new cabin can’t wait to see you
Lying on the plane for me is looks like a dream.✈✈
It is my Dream to visit New Zealand one day 😍😊
Love it 🥰 Nice work Air New Zealand 🇳🇿
That is not a real name.
What isn't?
@@carbide2 Fake names.
@@MichaelKingsfordGray Which name is fake?
Will this debut with the 787-10 or their first GENX powered 787?
2024? Darn it, I'm going on a flight in December. Wish it could be brought forward.
great!
Yessss best airline in the world
My initial thoughts were why o why did they keep the dreadful reverse herringbone design in business class. However, I can now see the angle of the seats are way way less raked away from the window. Only slightly raked now, so you can still look out the window, which is hard to do now without hurting your neck!. And on reflection, I think I actually prefer this new light and spacious looking design for privacy reasons, over the seats angled TO the window. In seats facing to the window, anyone can be standing behind you observing you working on your laptop, reading a book, watching a movie, surfing the net. Creepy. Also I think its quite rude to have your back to the crew, other passengers. Perhaps that's just a cultural thing just like its rude to point your feet at others (a problem with the current design). This new design seems to mitigate these concerns and strike a balance between the dark claustrophobia of the likes of the Qsuite etc and the sheer lack of privacy on some aircraft. That all said, I think the biggest advances are down the back and that's groundbreaking for ultra longhaul flights.
Business Premier = First Class
Really want to try the Premium Economy.
woww this is an awesome video. thanks for sharing :) subbed and liked ! a fellow creator
I feel like in the sky nest there is going to be that one guy that’s there for 12 hours
Are these out yet
Not yet, their being rolled out this year.
The best airline improving what is already excellent. That's spoiling us customers.
how mcuh to buy one
Does it still have the upper deck seating like its older cousins? What's upstairs?
What?
???
When will this new cabin be released?
2024
Coming in 2057 probably
nope, next year
Do you think ANZ will operate back to London
Atm there are no plans to operate directly in London.
But they will be operating a connecting service, Auckland to New York, and then onto London with a different airline.
Cool
Sorry typo mistake I mean affordable
Future Taking Flight 2.0
My favourite airline by far, as an Aussie I only wish Air NZ operated wet-bound services through Australia to Europe.
❤️
i think we should introduce the world famous Cyclaws to Air NZ bussiness class giving our front cocpit more lift down wind.....
I hope the Skyrest is avoidable for we normal earner to fly
LAYING FLAT IN ECONOMY? MY GOD! WOW!
Make the whole plane bunk beds, leave at 11pm.
Glad that the herringbone seats are gone.
Light years ahead? LOL these designs are about 10 years old in other airlines.
Please ask Jacinta our protest to put b747 back in production
It's Jacinda not Jacinta, she's the Prime Minister.
And can I ask you a question, what the hell can Jacinda do to bring back the production of the B747 and why would she want to do it if she could.
@DoDa Z What's wrong with Green Technology, that doesn't really have much to do with the decline of the 747.
In terms of fuel efficiency well that's an extremely important factor.
The newer Aircrafts allow Airlines to carry nearly the same amount of passengers, with less fuel, less weight (due to having only 2 engines and not 4) and therefore with less costs while improving speed, decreasing drag and improving performance efficiency and fuel efficiency and therefore having less impact on the environment while saving on costs.
No doubt there are people who love the 747 but no Airline is going to want to fly them, simply because they have become uneconomical.
With the Technology we have today a 787 all though half the size of a 747 it can still fly the same distance with less power and fuel and far more savings.
@DoDa Zmmm come to think of it I guess it depends how you see, Technology contributed to the advancements of the aviation industry, but going green was one of the reasons behind the 747 decline.
Like I said, why keep on operating large and expensive hunks of metal when you can pretty much get the same results for less input, Efficiency. 747 and even A380 are just not economical anymore.
@DoDa Z I guess it does but many Airlines seem to have the same business model, hence why Boeing has discontinued manufacturing of 747s due to plummeting demand.
Why? Industries innovate and progress, and companies follow suit if the next gen product is better, it's how industries and economies advance.
@DoDa Z But it is better because like I said many times the 787s are more efficient, they cost less to operate, they save fuel and are much more Technologically advanced in structure material, computer technology, engines etc.
At least the airline is catching up to the real world world with premium cabin design for both Premium Economy and Business Premier. Why is Air NZ still using inward facing herringbone seating for Business Premier?. Little mentioned about the seating from Economy Class other they will be using 'slim' seats being used on the A320neo/A321neo fleets with more padding. Are Economy seats on the B787's still going to have 78cm/31inch seat pitch and what will be the recline?
One of the reasons Air NZ retained Herringbone was because of consistency in seating, due to the design it ensures every passenger gets an equal experience in seating.
Such an objective can be achieved in Reverse Herringbone but another reason why Air NZ decided to stay conventional was because many people can feel claustrophobic with Reverse. Depending on the angle of the seat Herringbone can achieve a higher feel of space and openness than Reverse and judging by the design from Air NZ that was definitely a goal, ease of aisle to seat access and vice versa must have been another goal.
In some aspects Privacy is pretty damn good with this design, seeing as your head will be away from the aisle and the standard business premiere seat can deploy the sliding panel for more privacy It may give a feel of equal privacy to that of an exposed Reverse Herringbone.
The last argument against the Herringbone would be the increased difficulty for looking out the window but studies and tests show that passengers only look out the window during take off, landing and 2 percent of the time during a flight so That feature is of little benefit or consequence in Herringbone or Reverse.
All seat pitch and width measurements will remain the same, some may increase.
@@rp7784 - I am not sure to take your comment seriously or not. unless it is an 'official' response from an Air NZ employee.
One of the biggest complaints by most Air NZ Business Premier customers and other business class or premium customers they hate the current the configuration which has been dubbed 'coffin' class.
The new Business Premier hard product is a 1000% improvement and has easier access to aisle for window seat passengers which some customers like but I prefer reverse herringbone for window seats.
So will be the the 'new' seat pitch and seat width for standard economy seats?
@@chrismckellar9350I'm not sure what you mean by whether you should take my comment seriously.
The current configuration I can understand, but it's hard to judge this kind of Herringbone design especially when there are very few airlines with layouts like this.
This is very different, much more roomy and a little more private, I guess time will tell how people feel but from analysing the designs and from what the design team has stated Im kinda liking this design.
Standard Economy measurements are the same.
Economy stretch seat pitch will increase to 34-35 inches with the same seat width.
Premium Economy same measurements.
Tv screen measurements in all classes will increase.
@@rp7784 - There is a lot of airlines using both herringbone and reversed herringbone seat configuration for Business and First Class. Air NZ has caught with the rest of the other airlines in Business class hard product design and layout. What is interesting with the Business Class seats that Air NZ will be the first to use 'zero' gravity effect padding that the Business Class seats will have designed for better sleep on ultra long haul non stop flights.
Beside the additional 2 B7879s and B787-10's will be delivered with the new cabin design, the B787-9 'V2' being the last 4 delivered have more premium seating for long to ultra long hauls compared to the the original 10, will be upgraded first followed by the remaining older 10 B787-9's.
Currently, Economy Class seat pitch on the B787-9's are between 31 - 33” (78 - 83cm).
By the way, I am an Air NZ premium customer and a frequent traveler, so I an familiar with all types of seating configuration from economy to first class.
@@chrismckellar9350 I am well aware of airlines using both configurations but your not reading my comments properly lol.
There are very few airlines using this type of Herringbone configuration with the seat at that angle and with equal space and features.
Correct and like I said in Economy stretch, the pitch will be 34-35 inches.
Good for you.
Looks a bit like UA’s Polaris Seats- add the sliding door. Not too impressed…..
Looks like it but very different, usually I'm anti herringbone but the way Air NZ has designed the layout I'm curious to see what it's like.
Light years ahead and pushing boundrys , m8 have a look at where your hand is and put back so we can all see 2 hands please .
Those hardshell seats are so uncomfortable
So exciting that all of our dreams are coming true to Air New Zealand's Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners, keep smiling. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
🇳🇿 🥂
Thank Goodness for a “new” business class..👍👍
Herringbone design = outdated..😫😫
I did not like the old seats they seem great 😕
You did or you didn't lik ethem??
@@Ben123 I do like the new ones but not the old seats
please
ᴘʀᴏᴍᴏsᴍ
Good to see some proof!! You F..... up real bad the last time.
Sleeping that close to strangers above, below, and diagonally up down and across just seems disgusting. People are gross with their fat bodies stretched out all around you, sweaty and loudly breathing ; or taking off shoes; a potpourri smell of feet, and an irregular medley of snoring from all directions will have everyone tossing and turning around even more, rocking the beds and making noise as you try to block out the unpleasantness of sleeping with your nose within a meter of five butts ready to release gas.
@Jay P Just being realistic. Sleeping in such close proximity to five strangers within arms length is a complete design fail and won’t appeal to anyone with a shred of dignity and personal hygiene. Stacks of sweaty snoring drooling fatties tossing and turning above you below you and directly across from you so close you can feel their breath and smell their burps and farts as they snore and wheeze and shake the bunk shifting their weight around ewwwww
@Jay P Your lines of sight are totally different sitting versus laying down. Sitting next to someone who is sleeping is not great but if you look straight ahead you're not looking at them and there's a bit of dignity with everyone seated and facing the same direction. Stacking horizontally with people above and below and across is entirely different. You're seeing their entire body stretched out boxing you in plus when people lie down to sleep they snore and toss and turn and take off their shoes it's just so much more disgusting to think about being stuck in that configuration, looking across a foot and a half and seeing three people stacked up breathing ugh. I'll fly Air NZ for the little suites not shared with five people. BTW this thing was announced two years ago - obviously not a big hit.
Those issues exist in regular seats - SkyNest won’t be for everyone but offering a lie flat bookable sleeping stint in economy is a world first and an excellent evolution of the SkyCouch. Props to Air NZ
You'd better stay home.
@@ruthiebelle1 So those are my options:
1. Ruin my flight by getting crammed into windowless 1950s era military submarine bunk beds with the worst people on board, “problem sleepers,” and people with such poor hygiene, bad social behavior, and/or lack of respect for privacy that they can see nothing wrong with this setup.
2: Stay home.
I’m pretty sure you’re the one who doesn’t get out much.
You will never be able to beat qantas
Who cares! 😭
Well Air NZ already did, they have been voted second best airline in the world, Qantas was seventh lol.
@@rp7784 and to fact check you, many websites say the Singapore airlines is the 2nd best, and New Zealand airlines is way below qantas on many lists. So the list you just told me would of been from you!
@@Paradoxical124 incorrect, airline ratings reviews, Skytrax and 4 other rating websites have stated what I have, and Air NZ has been rated the safest airline.
From many comments and reviews Air NZ has also better customer service and the IFE on Air NZ operates much smoother with more content.
Air NZ cabin seats are more spacious also.
Qantas has an edge in terms of product quality and textures, fleet size and capacity, as well as more capital.
But despite all that, Air NZ tops alot of charts, and many Aussies prefer Air NZ over many airlines including Qantas, the downside with Air NZ is their prices.
@@rp7784 WOW! 4 WEBSITES!! THATS CRAZY!
My mouth just dropped. Move over Etihad, Air New Zealand is taking over the mantle of Flying Reimagined
I'm a New Zealander living abroad and even he, representing the flag carrier, pronounces New Zealand as 'New Zillind'. It bugs me that most of them are so lazy in their speech.
When you get rid of that PM of yours in NZ then I might consider using your airline.
