Noo.....this is the regular premium seats, not the Shellseats which dubbed as the world's best premium economy seats.
Who else is from nz but still watching this😂🇳🇿

Yup, hello
"Having a poo here is probably quite a comfortable experience..." :)
I thought I heard it wrong.. LMAO
I had to rewind and make sure.
haha
as far as reviews go its pretty to the point :P
Thanks !
I flew Premium Economy in 2015 when I checked off my last bucket list item, to visit my ancestors' graves in Christchurch. ANZ cabin crew were so wonderful and kind, and as a disabled traveller my experience was beyond my expectations. Kia Ora to everyone who works for the airline, in the air and on the ground. You guys ROCK!
When was there every premium economy on domestic flights
I'm so glad you reviewed Air New Zealand. Proud New Zealander watching this loved it
You really are everywhere
Yep , we have given up on their business class ,smelling other peoples stinky feet got to us over many trips so premium economy is great .😊
Being a New Zealander myself it's always great to hear good comments about our airline. I hope you enjoyed your stay in our lovely country :)
Josh, I've just realised that the thumbnail has the AUSTRALIAN flag instead of the New Zealand flag. The cardinal sin...
Good some one saw that!
Already noticed that before I watched this, I’m Kiwi, bro
Must have changed it because it's not now. But yes a big sin!
yeah, he changed that.. I don’t get how he could have messed that up.
That's why we Kiwis wanted to change ours..
I just love Air New Zealand, which I flew on numerous occasions (all classes). Crossed the dateline several times on their flights, which was good for “traveling-to-the-past” and “skip-a-day-off-your-life” experiences! The crew are perhaps the friendliest in the industry, and the safety videos they produce are the most innovative and entertaining!
Thanks Josh, travelling from the UK tomorrow with Air New Zealand in premium economy seat 27A outbound and 26A on the return. Best ANZ PE review, so really looking forward to it now! 😀✈
Living in Australia, my favourite way to get to the US is with Air NZ because Auckland Airport is wonderful, the airline is wonderful even in economy!
Always nice to see another traveler who appreciates AirNZ's Premium Economy! My only experience with Premium Economy was my trip to New Zealand in 2005, and the overall experience blew my mind! Every step of the way my experience was outstanding, from the equipment to the in-flight service to the cabin crew - all outshone my expectations.
Love this product flew from Adelaide-Auckland-Vancouver and return. The crew were as attentive even when PE was full. The food was awesome.
Try the long haul flight, the movie options are a lot and they even provide quite up to date movies...did you notice the seat chat and order snacks feature? That's just another level of Air New Zealand...💕 #airnz
Hey Josh as a Filipino living in New Zealand I am happy to see that you enjoyed your Premium Economy Experience with Air New Zealand!
The thing that differentiates Singapore is the “ Book the cook “ feature which allows you to choose from a selection of meals prior to boarding. I’ve personally haven’t flown PE on Singapore Air , but I’ve known someone who has & they had no complaints.
So proud of my airline.. And I’m glad you enjoyed every second.. Proud Air New Zealander here
"I am in Fiji for a few days" Poor you :P Awesome video like always :)
Here’s why I want to fly with air New Zealand, consistently awesome.
9:57 nice capture of the vapour flowing over the wings 😊
So stoked you flew with them. ANZ by far are my favourite. I’ve flown all their 77W
Lucky sob
They had the best Economy Class period. Hot towel service,comfy seats along with blankets pillows. Two hot meals, breakfast mimosas. Free beer/wine and inflight entertainment. Footrest. This year's ago but such a good experience. Reminded me of my annual trips on Pan Am 747 Clippers between Pago Pago American Samoa, and, San Diego California. I rode every one of them.
I’ve flown 3 long haul premium economy flights this year, Air New Zealand, EVA Airlines and WestJet. They were all excellent. Strangely, my favorite was WestJet on an old 767. The service and food were amazing and the seat recline was the most generous. I believe they’re phasing our the 767s so I’ll have to try the 787 version. Air New Zealand’s WiFi really stood out.
I can see your enjoyment from your big smile😁 I love Air NZ, the best crew ever!❤
Yesss was waiting for this awesome review Josh!
I commute between NZ and the UK every 6 months for work and have found the air NZ premium economy to be amazing, I always manage a good nights sleep in the seats. Their business class still has a long way to go compared to Singapore Airlines though mainly because of the seat layout
Welcome to NZ
The review I’ve been waiting for
Ty for this review
I'm not surprised re Air New Zealand, it's been my favourite for a long time. I would agree with those who say their Premium Economy, the food, yes! Air New Zealand has some very interesting new services coming up in 2024. You'll be able to buy a four-hour slot in a sleep pod, in, get this, economy class. New, slimmer, ergonomic seats coming as well, which will in turn allow for larger entertainment screens in the back of all the seats. More legroom, it's really impressive engineering. They've listened to customers, and have taken on-board various recommendations they have made. In my view, innovation, and a continual striving for excellence has always been a hallmark of the Air New Zealand experience. They've always had good, friendly, service orientated cabin crew. And the food, it's one of the top reasons I've chosen the Airline for my travels, you were right Josh, they don't skimp on quality to save a buck! I haven't experienced the Fiji trip with them yet, thanks to your VLOG, and opinion, I might just have to give it a go!
Thanks for a great video, Josh! Have fun in NZ!
I recently did premium on QF2 from London - Sydney. I have to say it is the first time I have tried it on Qantas and I was pleasantly surprised by the level of personalised service offered on the flight. There were no hot towels handed out, no big deal though as im not usually a big fan of those anyway, however what I do find odd is that Qantas still dont have Wifi on their international flights. I think they are falling way behind in this regard, especially since they are meant to be a premium carrier. Have you reviewed the Qantas premium product? I would be interested to get your take on it.
Yay been waiting this for a long time! Flew their PE Auckland to Hong Kong and it was incredible, really exceeded my expectations. For daytime flights I wouldn't bother with business when there's a premium economy this good.
I've just found your channel and it's superior to many other flight review channels I watched. Keep up the great work
Hey Josh, Thanks for sharing your experience with Air Nz. I am glad to hear that you like the services. I live in NZ and welcome to NZ i hope you got a chance to explore wonderful mesmerising attractions of Aotearoa...🙂
I flew Air New Zealand back in 2019 (HOU-AKL-DUD) and was able to fly the return leg (AKL-HOU) in Premium Economy. I had bid for an upgrade as well. I didn't get it outbound, but I luckily got it on the return flight. I was happy with their Premium Economy product. I had no complaints.
Once again, loved the Lav review........You have the best content and reviews on the web, keep up the good work. Also glad you have sorted the audio issues out. :-)
'Yes'our coutries national carrier has done us proud.
So glad you enjoyed your introduction into Kiwi hospitality.
I sincerely hope you enjoy your stay in New Zealand and I hope you get to visit Rotorua the centre of Maori culture and beyond.
Kia kaha which means in maori "stay safe"
Fantastic review Josh.
Note:this is a review on Air New Zealand not Indian airlines so lay off on other airlines its not warrented.
Kia kaha, Be strong.
Kia haumaru, Stay safe.
Hey Josh, another great review! I recently flew Air New Zealand in premium economy class one way and was upgraded on the return flight by bidding on the ANZ website. We upgraded to business class for less than $300 USD. Business class on ANZ is amazing so you should definitely give it a try if possible. Keep up the good work!
Economy on air New Zealand, on a 747-400 in 1995, from Los Angeles to Auckland, still the best and longest flight I've ever taken.
Thank you, Josh, for an amazing Review honest informative and fun, Love Air NZ Wonderful airline and staff 😊🙏
Hi Josh,
I’m a kiwi living in Japan. I flew home for a holiday nearly two years ago. Flew ANZ, Tokyo/AKL return. I can’t sleep while in or on a moving vehicle so I would go and visit the crew for a chat as I walk around for exercise. Good flight both ways.
BTW, I always buy snacks for the hard working crews. Better service. I have experience with dealing with people in my past so I feel for the crews.
so glad Air NZ stepped up! Was raised in NZ and am always happy to know we are in the top tier!
Yes it’s an excellent way to fly. We flew Air New Zealand Premium Economy Perth to Auckland return and it was simply the best. Certainly a top notch airline and a great way to fly. Hope you enjoy NZ, my birthplace, it’s a fantastic country to explore.
I was booked on a sale fare for Scoot booked around 4 months in advance between Perth and Manila. Got sent an email for bid to upgrade. Did the same thing, selected the absolute minimum at $175, the upgrade was really only for the Per to Sin portion as the aircraft was the 787. My minimum bid was accepted and the cabin 8/21. Flight was partial red eye so got a good rest, meal and wifi included. Checked the full fare prior to departure online and the airline wanted $950.
Thank you for the review! I absolutely swear by their premium economy and in my opinion, definitely better than SQ's. Flew on their 787-9 several times from SIN-AKL-SIN. Love their food and service always! Safe travels!
We flew premium economy London to Los Angeles. Absolutely brilliant... paid a bit more for extra legroom, well worth it. Impressive service from the crew, excellent cuisine & comfort.... definitely my first choice when flying long haul trips!
It would be great if you could make a video of the menus too (just briefly, we can pause), it sometimes makes a difference whether I would upgrade and also sometimes I'm just curious about the local cuisine if it's somewhere new to me. :) Thanks again for a great channel!
6:28, ScamTrax yes!
I am watching from Auckland, New Zealand LOL
See’s Josh is a Liverpool fan, clearly best airline RUclipsr!
that was some good legroom and a nice screen
Hey Josh! Do you know if Philippine Airlines PE has access to the lounge everywhere? I saw that from your trip in Melbourne but flying from MNL-SYD on PE and we weren’t allowed access to the lounge :(
Lucky you came for a visit when you did, only returning kiwis can get into NZ since May 2020. So missing being able to travel in these strange times that lm watching all the travel vlogs. Great channel mate.
See, I like this guy because he is naming all the good things and not as much bad things !!!!!! Yessss
The quality, portion of the food and the flow seems the same or better than some of the major carriers in Asia. It's quite phenomenal.
Great review! Thank you for sharing this with us! All the best from the west coast of Florida USA!!!
Finally!! 👍😊. Great review, thanks Josh. We're pretty lucky with our national carrier. (And as a Watford supporter, I can only apologize.....)
Use the towel for your face if you want to. That's ridiculous! You're traveling. Nothing nicer than a nice warm towel when you've been traveling all day. People are crazy.
Would love to come to NZ one day! Amazing place
Looks a very roomy, comfortable seat. Food looked yummy. The only time we booked Premium Economy we were upgraded to Business. Yet to try it.
I think the SAS premium economy is also veryyy goo! And they just got the a350! Great video
Josh how was the recline on your seat compared to other seats on that plane? Have read its not as good in the rear seat
Lol @Scamtrax! It took me a few moments to realise who you were referring to!
Thanks Josh!
6:31 I believe that SQ does not have dedicated toilets for PE, whereas Air NZ does (or shared with J class). That's one of the reasons I prefer Air NZ's product. All my experiences of Air NZ's PE have been more that good. On one flight, all passengers were addressed by name throughout the flight (between Australia and NZ) . 12:01 I always understood that it's the same food as served in J, but with a reduced choice of dishes and everything is served together on the tray, rather than course by course. .
Josh : What is your favourite premium economy class.
Me : T_T I travel only economy coz I poor. :p
Because you are normal poor don't travel rich fly First Buiss and Premium
Josh, I think ANZ and Qantas have the best PE cabins and service overall. I've flown on both: LAX and AKL, roundtrip, and LAX and MEL, roundtrip. However, I will give a slight edge to Qantas as they have a better seat, in my opinion, but their meal/beverage service is on par with each other. Finally, I think ANZ cabin staff are slightly a cut above Qantas' which makes the difference when deciding the better product.
Yay finally reviewing my favourite airline! Air nz is one of the best in the world hands down!
Looked amazing!! How did you get your access to take all these flights, and be able to review them? You have to be my favorite Airline vlogger! That accent and eyes don’t hurt!!
I'm 41. Rarely strayed from USA. I guess I went to Mexico as a toddler. Been to Canada for a day 20 years ago.
Granted I've traveled US extensively camping and fishing. But watching these videos makes me yearn for more. I wish I wasn't so scared.
Having flown all over Europe and Asia, Air NZ is my favourite airline. They have a great product, and the crew are awesome. I like that NZ has an attitude of friendly respect without being sterile. Other carriers may offer a better product but their crew tend to either be too careless or too cold.
The best thumbnail!!
I was very interested in your bathroom experience. Glad you enjoyed my home country's airline.
Great Video!
Nice video
It's funny that you keep holding the mic haha
I find all of air nz products to be pretty good especially their premium economy product especially on long haul sectors
Welcome to my home Josh. Glad you enjoyed PE. Surprised itvwas yr first trip to NZ.Come back and roadtest the new NZ J class which is being developed in their Hangar 22 facility (where they developed the Skynest bunk bed in econimy concept). Can't wait to see what they unveil. Its a shame they hung on too long to the now outdated Virgin Atlantic herringbone design. Think they had some sort of licencing agt with Virgin tying them. Did you enjoy our summer weather? Zero rain for almost two months.
Nice one josh
Definitely will try Premium Economy on Air New Zealand!
I flew Air New Zealand Premium Economy from AKL-LAX-LHR route about five years ago, it's the best Premium Economy that I've flown on. The flight from AKL - LAX was with a NZ Crew and the flight from LAX - LHR was a British Crew, both sets of crews were amazing. The only let down of this flight is that you have to disembark at LAX and go around the system and clear U.S immigration and then get back on the flight, this was a real pain.
You should come to Christchurch (It is in NZ)
Hi Josh you can try Silk Air Airline from Singapore to Penang.
I always look forward to your posts josh.u are the best.
How long are you in NZ for?
Wow, Air NZ uniforms have changed a lot!
Glad you liked the National Airline, Josh. A320s decked out in black upholstery, 162 seats international, 168 seats domestic. Try finding nicer A320 types than these! Cathay Pacific are the only airline I've flown that is as good.
LOL ScamTrax - you're not wrong!
Very nice review again!
I’m not sure you’re correct about the GE-90. The new 777X will actually use a lower-thrust engine than the 777-300ER because it is much more aerodynamically clean, thus requiring less thrust.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen!
i live in canada quebec and was going to NZ in march 2020 but SADLY because of Corona we couldn't go and it was just safer anyway ): so sad it was such a unique experience!
“Scamtraxx” LOL 😂😂😂 love it you are the best! Cheers 🥂
Are those bookshelves in the lavatory?
SCAMTRAXX lolol I love it.
Can anybody tell me the name of the backgroung music in the video, please?
Welcome to my hometown Auckland. Hope you enjoy your time here.
I’m curious why you do not recommend PE for long haul flights. Is this compared to business or regular economy?
I flew PM to Delhi from US twice and it’s definitely superior to regular economy and well worth the extra simply for seat comfort and space.
Thanks !
Given how high the taxes are ex Fiji I think that’s an awesome deal! Pleased you enjoyed Air NZ Josh
Fabulous review. Glad to see you spent quality time in the bathroom. Question -- is there a seat belt to strap yourself on the toilet? Keep up the good work. Looking forward to a dedicated review on bathrooms. Maybe you could call it "Flying toilets" or "Washrooms in the Sky".
This looked very close to the business class offering of some airlines. The only thing it lacked was being able to recline the seat into a bed, and for a 3-hour flight that would be unnecessary. I'd say it was a great deal!
The food is the same as Business Premier. Out of Qantas, Singapore Airlines and Air NZ, Air NZ has the best overall Premium Economy product, follow closely by Qantas and in distance last, Singapore Airlines especially their Premium Economy of their A350's
Very interesting
I am not surprised Air New Zealand is so good. They have been consistently good for a very long time, and now in 2022, I believe they would be as good or even better as a few years ago. I flew them in regular economy from Auckland to Vancouver many years ago, and even then their service was excellent.
nice video, thanks for sharing
Whoa 😳
What a product! 👍
