The Air New Zealand long-haul experience reflects the inspiring uniqueness of its place, its people and its culture. As the national airline for the country, fresh expressions of New Zealand are showcased throughout Air New Zealand, from the interiors and cuisine, to the entertainment and staff.
With the introduction of Business Premier, Pacific Premium Economy and Pacific Economy, Air New Zealand has transformed their longhaul service to set a new benchmark in comfort, convenience and style. The following services are available on 747 and 777 aircraft.
To look and feel your best, there's no substitute for a good night's sleep – something that's all too rare on a long-haul flight. That's why Air New Zealand has chosen the most comfortable, fully lie-flat bed for the Business Premier cabin.
The luxurious leather armchair converts to a fully flat 6 feet 7.5 inch bed with an ottoman footrest, which doubles as a visitor's seat. Every seat has direct aisle access, while the unique design of the in-bed mode features a separate mattress surface for optimum comfort.
Your own soft duvet, large cotton pillow and sleep sheet provide a true sleep experience, while the Business Premier bathrooms boast enhanced interiors, and a luxurious range of Pacifica skincare products for a more pleasurable flight.
Enjoy a fresh in-flight menu developed by a team of consultant chefs served on distinctive crockery and cutlery for a premium dining experience. Each dish has been carefully chosen to feature New Zealand's finest natural produce and reflect a rich cultural and culinary landscape. The in-flight wine selection comes from all over the country, to ensure a representation of styles for each passenger.
A wide range of Audio-Video On-Demand (AVOD) entertainment is available to suit all tastes, from blockbusters to news programs, with an in-seat remote control handily available to direct the action. Individual 10.4 inch, high resolution screens give perfect picture clarity while active noise-cancellation ensures crystal-clear sound quality.
Treat yourself to more space in Pacific Premium Economy, an exclusive class of travel that sits between Business Premier and Pacific Economy.
Spoil yourself with Pacific Premium Economy's 38-40 inch seat pitch, as well as 50 per cent more seat recline than Economy. Complete with full legrest and foot bar, these seats can make all the difference on a long flight. In-seat power is available which accepts most common connector plugs without the need for any kind of adaptor.
A selection of meals designed by Air New Zealand's consultant chefs are available to Pacific Premium Economy guests. The menus reflect the experience of the executive chefs with their flair for New Zealand food used to create unique meals. Choose from an extensive Business Premier Class wine list.
Every Pacific Premium Economy Class seat features an individual high-resolution 8.4 inch entertainment screen so you can watch what you want when you want with the state-of-the-art Audio-Video On-Demand (AVOD) system.
Blockbuster movies, TV programs and a unique New Zealand selection of programs are available at your fingertips, as well as a selection of music, information and the latest games to keep everyone amused.
Just because you're travelling in Economy Class doesn't mean you want your airline to be economical on space or service.
Air New Zealand's current Pacific Economy cabins and seats are specially designed to make long-haul international travel a more enjoyable experience. Economy Class offers a generous 34 inch seat pitch on all 747 and 32 inch seat pitch on all 777 aircraft. Additionally, the seat recline provides enhanced personal space while the new ergonomic design provides comfort in any seating position.
The food and beverage in Pacific Economy Class is modern and innovative, with an emphasis on New Zealand flavours. For those with special dietary needs, a range of two special meal options is also available. For the past 20 years, Air New Zealand has helped take New Zealand wine to the rest of the world, and today is no exception. Choose from a wide selection of complimentary beverages, including wines, with your meal.
Your very own 8.4 inch screen and in-seat remote ensure you control the action, choosing what you watch and when. Options include movies, TV programs and a selection of single player games to keep the young (and the young at heart) occupied.
A dedicated selection for children and a unique New Zealand selection showcases the best the country has to offer. Need a little distraction for the kids? Air New Zealand's specially designed kids packs are full of fun for everyone.
Membership of Air New Zealand's Koru Club comes with many benefits and privileges – from access to lounges, to priority reservations, to special check-in facilities and preferred seating allocation.
Air New Zealand's selection of lounges are less ‘lounge' and more ‘bach' (a New Zealand holiday house), complete with mock verandah, weatherboard walls and a welcoming staff member upon entering. The unique Kiwi experience introduces travellers to a little piece of homeland outside of New Zealand.
Air New Zealand is a member of the Star Alliance network, which consists of over 20 airlines and offers more than 17,000 daily flights to 897 destinations in 160 countries.
From April 2008, Air New Zealand is revolutionising its long-haul travel experience with the introduction of an in-flight International Airline Concierge service. This new service will be dedicated to making every customer's journey before, during and after an Air New Zealand flight a special event.
