"Air New Zealand will soon offer a solution that involves climbing into a triple-tier bunk bed wearing special socks. The airline will soon open bookings for four-hour stints in the Skynest sleep pods and says they will be the first lie-flat beds for budget air travelers."
"Travelers will have the option of a pre-booked four-hour spot in a curtained pod, with costs starting from 495 New Zealand dollars on top of the price of their economy tickets."
"Passengers must refrain from snacking in the pods, which can't be used by children or any additional visitors. 'That means solo snoozes only please, no musical nests or tag-teaming,' Air New Zealand's website says."
"Fliers are also required to change into specially provided socks to enter the pod, fasten their seat belts over their blankets and forgo dousing themselves in any smelly 'perfumes or potions.'"
Air New Zealand will launch Skynest sleep pods for economy and premium economy passengers on its Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner. These triple-tier bunk beds will be available for four-hour bookings starting at 495 New Zealand dollars. The pods will be located on flights from Auckland to New York, allowing travelers to rest during long flights. Passengers must adhere to etiquette rules, including no snacking and wearing special socks. The airline ensures cleanliness with refreshed bedding between uses.
