Revolutionizing Long Haul Flights With Lie Flat Sleeping Pods
Air New Zealand has announced the introduction of its Economy Skynest, a set of six lie-flat sleeping pods designed for economy and premium economy travelers on its longest routes. The pods will be available on the airline’s new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft, starting in November 2026. Passengers can add a four-hour Skynest session to their booking for NZ$495, with each pod featuring a full-length mattress, fresh bedding, and personal amenities. This move reflects the airline’s commitment to improving the travel experience, particularly for a country as geographically isolated as New Zealand, as reported by AeroTime.
