@@susandunne2987I also fly it often ,crappiest product out there. Absolute joke .where i can we use emerates, singapore to have real business class. 1976 was my start with air nz
I really liked the food but I have to admit after my AirNZ Business Class flight I decided I'd prefer their Premium Economy. With P. Economy I can get the Priority Bag drop, Security, and boarding With Dragon Pass I can get Lounge access in Strata, and in my opinion the layout of the P. Economy with lots of room and great views out the window make it overall better.
Completely agree Cliff, the service, food and beverage is exceptional but I'm 6'3" and just couldn't get comfortable in that bed ... my feet didn't fit the ottoman .... P economy ..you get there same socks and the seat is better to sleep in.
AirNZ's controversial herringbone configuration in business class has the disadvantage of everyone's unsightly feet being exposed. However, it has the advantage of having enough space and room to lie down that everyone's unsightly feet are exposed. Even though I personally wouldn't mind it, it's the most recurring criticism I've seen of AirNZ business class so I'm glad that the configuration is finally coming to an end.
We were ‘upgraded’ to business recently on a flight from Rarotonga. It was horrible, economy is better. Everyone is facing inwards looking at each others feet, no one gets to see out the window, I had someone’s toenails poking into my leg, there is no privacy, on takeoff and landing the forces on the body are diagonal so it feels unnatural.
I recently travelled from Sydney to Auckland to Vancouver on Air New Zealand’s business class. The first flight was on a 777 and the second on a 787. I hated these seats! They are too narrow, there is very little storage space and no privacy. And you cannot just switch to recumbent at will; you have to call the flight attendant. In fairness, the service was excellent. I chose ANZ because it was half the price of Air Canada and now I know why.
Thanks for the review. I was considering this same route to AKL. But this layout is similar to Virgin Alantic Upper Class. Not too happy with the lack of privacy. Was the internet issue due to you or more of Air New Zealand?
Renata:Thanks you guys for your new remarkable video this weekend from Wellington, New Zealand to shows these amazing places in June of 2024❤❤❤I really LOVE to watch your great videos in joy 2024❤❤❤
Thanks for posting, Renata. I always love to watch videos about NZ, as I 'm curious to know what first timers' preconceptions are, especially if they have visited the much bigger and wealthier neighbour (Australia) beforehand. Looks like you really enjoyed your time in NZ and thank you for promoting my home country so beautifully. Did you and Gordon find any surprises compared to the US?
Renata:Thanks you guys so much for this new amazing video from Wellington, New Zealand to heads by airplane to Auckland, New Zealand in great joy 2024❤❤❤
@@RenataPereiraTV it's so -- weird. A NZ pilot I think said something like, who cares about the windows, the flights are at night anyway.I don't care the feet thing is just weird.
Not just you Gordon! 😂😂😂 we got that same gift from United because of two canceled flights that caused us to be stranded with our students in Denver last week (luggage continued to Spokane). 🤭🤭🤭 Thanks to United for complimentary hotel rooms and food vouchers for the youth ❤❤❤
Aww so sad to see the NZ videos are over. But you are very welcome to come back. You've got the South Island still to do. The two obvious places are Christchurch and Queenstown. It's quite confronting to see feet up over the seats. I bet you were tempted to poke them with your fork or throw a blanket over them 😂
Veeeery tempted 😂😂😂! Absolutely, we never visit all cities we want to visit in the same trip, exactly to have more reasons to go back. And we absolutely loved New Zealand! We yeah, it’s high on our list 🤗🤗. Glad you liked the videos, Glenn! Thank you so much!
Maybe not Christxhurch so much as an obvious place but there is so much visit, definitely Mt Cook, then Central Otago (Queenstown, Wanaka) Dunedin and if you can Mikford Sound.
Renata:Congratulations to you guys to rides the World’s most expensive or luxurious airplane to heads Auckland, New Zealand in great joy June of 2024❤❤❤
Have flown others…? I’d assert that while ANZ crew are usually amazing.., the hard product doesn’t stand up for what you’re paying.., esp comparing entire package… lounge etc.. There’s a lot that works about herring bone, and a little that doesn’t
Yeah I won't complain if I pay ridiculous business class price. People are complaining as compared to other business class airlines, Air nz comes out worst
@@garyr2686 Dead right.. the coin I’ve thrown at ANZ .., the stuff up, never been look after when it came to refunds on product not supplied.., I gave up on one $800 refund after 3 months including waiting fir an hour in the it fn Akl CBD Hub lobby.. the air crew and other staff are excellent.. but corporate.. fly any A380 business and see the difference
After the Mount Erebus disaster and the way Air NewZealand id EVERYTHING they could to try to cover up their complicity in the disaster and obfuscate the investigation into the crash, I will never trust A.N. again. May be they have learned, maybe they are still like Boeing is now, today. I don't know. But as there are other airlines that fly to and from New Zealand, one has a choice, so I choose to fly with ANYONE else!
Worst business class on any airline. It's a disgrace, food, configuration with no privacy. What were the thinking. Never flying business class with them again
It Is the Worst Business class ! Its old and grubby ! The new business class that Air NZ is rolling out soon just seems to be taking forever !!! They really need to catch up to the other Airlines products that are bench mark in this category. Oh and the insulting thing is that Air NZ is one of the most expensive $$$!!! Look at the costs of international flights to USA !!! Even business class to Australia return from Auckland is often over $2000. Compare !!! If travelling with friend or partner your better off in premium economy with normal seating arrangement and with all the same meals and frills as business class... You can also look out the window without breaking your neck,,, And a lot bit cheaper. However, I feel the food is average if Im honest....Almost microwave tv meals, And a couple of slices of cheese with Huntley Palmers crackers... hardly premium in comparison to other airlines...And the annoying thing about that is the three choices you do have is the same on nearly all their other flights. So a bit ground hog day... Ive travelled many many times (monthly, often twice monthly) in business class on Air NZ out of Auckland and also other airlines such as Qatar. Emirates, Qantas... I just hope Air NZ premium classes rise to a higher standard when they update to the new cabins soon... no doubt the prices will also rise !!! Lets see...

They’re now online 😉
Wow 😮😮 we pay business class fare only to keep seeing back and forth around us wondering who's watching me the entire flight? 😮😮
HAHA, right!
Kia Ora, Air NZ has amazing servive so currently it has been made up for. Air NZ Is also putting new seats in the 787s!

Will be flying from Auckland to San Fran first week of January any chance they upgraded the business class configuration?
You’ll miss the upgrade by a few weeks
So cool that you got to film this onboard 💯💯💯
Thanks!
Hi Renata. Great video! I'm just wondering what sort of camera you used for this production? The quality is really nice.

The NZ business configuration is one of those things that makes you scratch your head and wonder, what were they thinking?
I hear ya. That is changing.
We usually fly business class but after doing it with Air NZ, we won’t bother with them again.
@@rogerbirch914 thank you for the feedback, will avoid.

How many total, apprx, were in biz-class?
Welcome back to Orlando
After two flights one from New Zealand to Houston and one to continue to Orlando
Thanks...that is a lot of flying.

Wonderful travel experience, even though sometimes it's not really what expect.

U need to go to visit ti triti o waitangi also known as the waitangi grounds witch used to be the capital of New Zealand ❤
Aren't the ANZ management taking note of this?
Beautiful New Zealand❤❤

LOL The feet would have put me over the EDGE!
Jumping off???? 😂
U pronounced Kia Ora beautifully❤
Oh thank you!

Why on earth would someone put a feet next to you
The seating is configured that way.
@@RenataPereiraTVreally
I Dont Like These Seat.Great Video And Info

They are changing their biz class so investigate their flights. Their service is great.

Hello Enoque.
Good accurate review, I am very proud of NZ & ANZ, but they’re not the game changers they used to be
no privacy at all mate
I hear ya.
FFS! some people will moan about anything. Nothing at all wrong with N.Z. Business class
Have flown others…? I’d assert that while ANZ crew are usually amazing.., the hard product doesn’t stand up for what you’re paying.., esp comparing entire package… lounge etc..
There’s a lot that works about herring bone, and a little that doesn’t
Do you fly business class yourself? It seems like something was wrong if even Air NZ has modernized with a new business cabin
Yeah I won't complain if I pay ridiculous business class price. People are complaining as compared to other business class airlines, Air nz comes out worst
