"The beds come with a mattress, bedding, privacy curtain, reading light, charging ports and amenity kits with eye masks and earplugs, as well as a seat belt, of course, and will enable fliers to 'stretch out, lie flat and get a few hours' proper rest in the air.'"
"'By giving more people the chance to properly rest on ultra-long-haul flights, it helps make travel to and from New Zealand more manageable,' said Air New Zealand's Chief Executive, Nikhil Ravishankar."
"'Double-bunking' and sneaking in snacks are strictly prohibited, and passengers are advised not to wear strong-smelling perfume or cologne. Snoring, however, is perfectly acceptable."
Air New Zealand is launching Economy Skynest sleeping pods on its Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner flights, featuring six horizontal bunk beds for economy passengers. Available from May 18 for select flights starting in November, these pods include a mattress, bedding, privacy curtain, and charging ports. Passengers must still purchase a seat and pay an additional fee of NZ$495 for a session. Only two sessions per flight are available, and certain restrictions apply, such as no double-bunking or strong-smelling perfumes. Development of the Skynest has been ongoing since 2020.
