Air New Zealand new  Premium Business Class product

The Premium Experience

Air New Zealand's new premium class cabin will provide customers with luxurious comfort and service at a business class price. The key feature will be the introduction of the revolutionary lie-flat seat.

Other features of the  seat include:

Direct aisle access for all passengers made possible by unique herring bone layout.
Large adjustable table that allows passengers to dine together.
LED cabin lighting that adjusts to the time of day and stage of flight to enhance well-being and comfort.
10.4 inch (26cm) in-seat personal video screen.
In-seat power for portable electronic devices, such as laptops. Retractable cocktail tray and water bottle holder.
Two individual reading lights.

The new seat is supplied by Contour Premium Aircraft Seating.
