Game-changing new Economy ‘Skycouch’ seating at Air New Zealand

Air New Zealand has brought beds to economy on their new 777-300 and 787. CEO Rob Fyfe and Project Manager Ed Sims briefed the crowds on Tuesdays event in Auckland, and demonstrated what makes the Skycouch economy seats so remarkable, and also showed us one of the designs that were rejected after nearly making the cut.

    Dear All,

    I have some questions about psychology:

    (1) Why do we love flying?

    (2) Why do we passengers enjoy the seat with a shell similar to that in this video?

    (3) How do we feel differently if the seat has a shell?

    THANK YOU IN ADAVNCE for your creative ideas and brainstorm!!! :)

    Good idea if you are as a couple since i would think most of Air New Zealands flights are over night and long haul?

    I like it a lot. My Girlfriend and I fly Air New Zealand regularly as I am a Canadian and she is a Kiwi.

    This is perfect for the long flight from Vancouver to Auckland.

    @UhateMacsToo NO dukegreg is on about [JetBlue] and [Virgin America]… they are younger airlines in the states. Look it up

  16. UhateMacsToo says:

    virgin blue* jet america* not jet blue and virgin america

  17. dukegreg says:

    oh sure, the 3 year old and her petite mum are just fine. No one over 5 feet 10 is ever properly accommodated in the horrid coach seats offered by most carriers. are you listening legacy airlines? JetBlue and Virgin America are eating your lunch.
