13 Hours in Air New Zealand's Strange Business Class Seat

- The day has finally come... I fly in BUSINESS CLASS for FREE! What the heck! Join me as I spend almost 13 hours flying in Air New Zealand's Business Premier Cabin from Auckland to Vancouver on a BOEING 787-9.
I'll show you exactly what to expect on this long haul flight - whether you're thinking of booking a similar journey, OR if you're like me, and just love to watch business class videos on RUclips for fun! We'll take a look at the seat, amenities, food, drink and everything in between! We'll even spend some time in the beautiful AirNZ International lounge in Auckland (which has got to be my favourite of all the lounges I've been in so far). And stick around until this end of the video as I'll dive into the details on exactly how on earth I got this flight for FREE!

I'm usually not one to watch long videos showing the experience of boarding, as I've done it myself plenty of times! But this one was the best I've watched here on YT in a big while! Great video Chloe!
Aw thanks Panda! I appreciate that!!! Thanks so much for watching ❤️
NZ does have the absolute best coffee. I spent a lot of time in Wellington in 2001 & 2002. Air NZ legs were so nice, United out of LA was my most frequent airline. Upgrades to business are well worth it. I enjoy your enthusiasm.
It sure does right? Awesome yo got to spend time in Wellington!! Thanks for watching! :D
So happy for your wedding!!! A Swedish wedding sounds beautiful. Congrats ❤️
Wonderful - much enjoyed this journey on Air NZ with you! thanks so much for sharing and look forward to see your next one.
Thank you so much!! I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed the video :) hopefully more to come!!
Hi! The thing you were served with the wine was the Amouse-Bouche. Thanks for the good watxh ❤
Ahah!!! I have heard of this before - thanks for clearing that up for me, haha
Amazing video thanks! It's just so challenging to drink and fly for me but for the price I can't miss out!
A great flight review, the food looked really good 🤌Oh, and that's for that great advice ... keep hydrated while flying 🥂🍷🍸🥃🍹
Hahahaa yes, very important to stay hydrated …cocktails or water acceptable
the happy dances are the best part of the videos 😁
Hahah THANK YOU! It’s great to have someone appreciate the moves 🤪
Great video very well done and so entertaining
Thanks so much Barry!! I really appreciate it!😁
I'm working on getting my credit up to aquire a points credit card, its slowly getting there. As always, I love the videos, and the great info you pass on to others, keep up the great work! oh and get Ludvig on a flight or holiday hahahahahaha. Thank you again!
Go you!! That’s exciting! Don’t you worry, Mr Ludvig will be in the next handful of videos so you can looks forward to that haha
"Hello" from Prince Edward Island. A very entertaining, and informative video. Thank you.
Hello!! Thank you for watching! We can’t wait to visit your beautiful hometown😍 in so glad you enjoyed the video!
Wow...amazing information on how you were able to book this flight for free! I need to get a travel credit card...
Welcome to Canada Cloe
Hey Chloe! Love the happy-dance at the start of this vid!😂 Wouldn't be hilarious if it turned out when go through the Special Gate, they knock y'all out, store you in the luggage area, and then Total Recall your wonderful experience into your brain?🤔 (I really hope I didn't give them an idea!)
Yay - glad to hear you appreciate the happy dance! Haha that would be a shock to the system... rather glad that didn't happen!! ;)
Thank you for this video. We also use Amex to get airpoints. We will be flying from Auckand to Vancouver in Premium Economy (first time) next year. I am Swedish and have lived in NZ for over 30 years with my Canadian husband. He came to NZ when he was 6 years old. Loved your video on Premium Economy Air NZ Vancouver to Auckland. It was so nice to see what to expect 😀Business Premier looks amazing. Maybe one day for us. We will be flying back in Economy Stretch from LA after a 5-week trip to Canada and the US. I suspect that we will bid for an upgrade after trying Premium Economy on the way up!
Wow! You seem to have a lot in common with us country wise! I am a kiwi and my fiancé, Ludvig, is Swedish, we’ve lived in both Canada and New Zealand! Very cool to hear about you guys. Where abouts in NZ do you live?
That’s very exciting for you, you trip sounds awesome! I’m happy you were able to get an idea on what to expect for your flight. Hopefully one day with all of your Amex points you’ll get to business premier too ;)
@@chloeandludvig We live in Albany Auckland .
it's this video of yours that convinced me to try flying business class lol! I often fly between korea and nz (home and home) on 787-9 and I finally caved and purchased a business class seat for one of the legs for early next year! The private back seats were sold out unfortunately lol but I chose one of the left hand side middle ish seats instead. As much as I want the very front seat (to not look at the back of someones head) it is also closest to the toilet and I don't know if I want that LOL I'm excited to try it despite the awful seat layout lol!
Oh my goodness I’m so excited for you!! Yay that this video inspired you 🎉😜 enjoy every second
Amazing review from my national airline! hope you had a great flight :D
It was an incredible flight!! I hope I am able to do it again one day :D
Also to put onto this! Keep up the great work!
@@chloeandludvig It is indeed luckily for me I get to do it in 7 days as we're going to america. overall an amazing experience and my favourite out off all the 7 airlines I have tried! Hope you get to do it again one time :D!
Ahh your fave!? I feel very lucky to have tried it! Excited to start ticking off a bunch more if I can!@@neonpixl
@@chloeandludvig Indeed!
Thanks! We live in the Midwest US and my son moved to Sydney, Australia and married his sweetie. I miss my son much, and I don't know what I'll do when I have grandchildren so far away. I had a hard time flying such a long distance with my Rheumatoid Arthritis when we flew economy for their wedding.. My husband and I have been looking for ways to be able to afford to move up to premium or business class. I appreciate all the information you've provided.
Aw I’ve only just seen this!! Thanks you so much for the appreciation and ‘tip’ hehe. I can go and buy myself a coffee! Glad you found this video helpful!
Hey there Chloe, only 6 days left til we start our RTW trip. The last part from Houston to Auckland, then Auckland to Melbourne will be with Air New Zealand in premier business class
Oh that’s so exciting for you! I hope you enjoy Air NZ business seat! Have an awesome trip!!!!
Kia Ora Chloe great video
Cheers, thanks heaps Dale!!
Seems like it’s the same business class product on Virgin Atlantic that I have taken twice, I personally think it’s very niche and cute. Of course service comes first.❤
Oh wow - I hope to try Virgin Atlantic in the future! That’s great to know :)
I love watching videos like this because im not financially responsible enough to save up for traveling like this im also diabetic so i don't know how traveling would go
Great video !! You have the same level of excitement I would have going on these upgraded flights. Although I only have a standard Amex card, I can convert standard membership points into Airpoints (if I they get hight enough) . I also have a standard Airpoints Credit Card with my bank, just not Platinum. This is Ok because I'm still earning passive Airpoints just not at a faster rate. I might switch to Amex Airpoints Card now.
Haha yusss! I’m happy someone else would be this excited! I always feel like the only one on the plane😆 I would definitely recommend upgrading to the platinum if you can!
Hi, I just flew on same air nz Akl- Van flight. Upon arrival in Van, I realised Canadian pp control did not stamp my pp, did they stamp yours? I mean am I alright without entry stamp or in trouble? 😢 thx
Hmm now that you mention it, I didn’t get a stamp either! We do go through those electronic machines before you head out through customs though so maybe that is in place of a stamp?
Love air nz, and business class is better than economy but I agree that seating configuration is horrendous, thankfully air nz is changing it to more private seating.. yay
Oh are they really? I think I might’ve skimmed past this in the news - I’m excited to see what they come up with!!😁
@@chloeandludvig yea late this year into next year...fiiiiinaly ugh.. youtube air nzs new cabin configuration.. looks amaze
@@Auckland-girl Oh I definitely will do! I am so looking forward to it! Thanks for sharing :D
well hello gravy timothies
Looks incredibly crammed and I agree, the herringbone configuration is awful. Glad I know this!
Thanks for watching - glad you found this helpful :)
Loved the vid but Amex is soooo hard to use in NZ. Most places don't accept it - especially when dining.
Most places I go, Amex is accepted..... but I don't really go anywhere different form my usuals haha. I've heard its quite expensive for businesses to accept Amex, so that's prob why :/
I Am Not A Big Fan Of Business Class Seats,Me To Am Allways Buy Somthing Frome The Duty Free.Great Trip Report
Ahh good to know!! Thanks so much for watching!!😎
@@chloeandludvig Yes Am Not Fan Of Air New Zealand Business Class Seats
That’s my home airport
Very cool! Auckland?
3:56 bro if my mum say my laptop on an angle like that she is going to beat me up💀💀💀
Hahaha Ooh really? Coz it could slide off??
Not my favorite seat layout. I have to have a window view...Do prefer premium economy over this on Air NZ.
At least the new cabins will give you a window view.
Yes it was an interesting layout! I am very excited about trying their new Business Class seat!!
I have availability on an award flight for plans from Canada to Australia/New Zealand for March. But I’m an extroverted introvert and these seats are bloody awkward. I prefer to look out the window or watch my movies but even your window view is obstructed. who in the world approved these seats lmfao
They are pretty awkward aren’t they! I think I am so excited about any business class seat I get, it didn’t really bother me. I will say however, it’s not my top pick 😅 I heard they are going for a new business class layout soon!!!
Please don’t go overboard on the perfume, it’s really not polite to wear strong perfume and then lock yourself into a metal tube with people who might have allergies and sinus problems. I had this happen on a flight yesterday. The flight attendant nearly knocked people over each time she walked by collecting trash with her strong perfume.
Haha thanks Joy! I definitely only spray a mild amount - I am always very considerate of those around me ;)
You are 100% right! 😂 But the opposite applies to underarm deodorant -- between the stress, the long-haul without a shower, and the (usually cramped) conditions, you can't use too much!
These Seats are horrible to business, no freaken room. No way maybe i been spoiled by the airlines i ride.
Oh really? I found the seats to be super comfortable, although I will admit, definitely a smaller space than my other two business class seats!
@@chloeandludvig yeah i dont like it. Is like the economy version of business class. So cramp in there, but one you try Qatar or Singapore Airlines BC you will feel the same. 🥲
@@shizumaakiyama3129 Ahhh good to know! I am VERY excited to try those two airlines someday - fingers crossed!!!!
These seats for the price are the worst seats ever !!! I'm 6ft 5in and about 100kg and feel like the seats are only designed for anyone under 5ft 8in and less than 70kg - anyone bigger, you're in for a real bad & uncomfortable experience. And believe me, the toilets are just as bad. "All" the seats are facing away from the windows - so you cannot see out !!! also you cannot sit next to you partner or wife or husband, in fact with the noise of the aircraft you'll struggle to talk to them. I genuinely do not recommend this seating or toilet option - certainly not worth the money. Staff and food was good, everything else a total failure !!!
Airnz business class is a chaotic mess.....and as for the seating no, no, no
I can understand what you mean - it’s not the best layout. I still loved every second though 😉 what’s your ideal business class?
Apparently, they’re getting a new business class in the future and it’s gonna be sick
My takeaway from this video. You are an alcoholic who likes drinking a lot of alcohol. Consume vast amounts of coffee to mask the alcohol and then spend your flight going to the toilet to empty your bladder. Anyone who flies a lot, will also know never to book right beside the toilet. one because you hear the flushing noise all the time, two because of the smell as people leave the toilet and three because when they break down and back up, which long haul aircraft toilets do, the smell and stench will make you want to jump out of the plane at 37,000 feet. This is also a video that is a once in a lifetime to fly in business class, but you get butterflies in your stomach every time you fly business class.
Thanks for the feedback, obviously this video is not for you but cheers for watching
Fun at parties you must be. Stick to riding bikes
@@elcasho I don't go to parties, full of idiots who drink to much and think they are something special. Probably a bit like you!
Is this meant to be a negative comment?@@elcasho
@@chloeandludvighe is saying that to the original commentator, not you. that dude is a buzz kill lol.
