• As a Air NZ Elite traveller, one of the biggest benefits that I value is that I can choose my seat (within the same booking class) usually an aisle seat, up the frount of the bus, regardless on the type of fare paid. I fly on over 100 flights per year (domestic and international) and approx 80% o...

  • I did wonder when I last travelled on NZ2 from AKL to LHR how long the space seat how long they would last - personally I love them and it made my trip most comfortable. From what is being reported here you don't need to be an aviation analyst to do the math – the space seat days are indeed...

  • Very simple and practical reason the space seat did not make the 787... is they just don't fit. Where as they get 21 of the original Y+ seat configuration. Got to make the economics work.For what it's worth -  I personally love the space seat, but like the growing rumours I believe their day...

  • I have been Priority Black with Rydges for a few years now - it seems to make more of a difference when I stay at Rydges properties and I get the royal treatment a couple of NZ properties where they know me by name - I have not experienced the same level of service from the other brands in t...
