Air New Zealand WEIRD Business Class

I flew Air New Zealand business class onboard their 777-300ER from Auckland to Los Angeles (AKL-LAX). It was weird, but I scored an empty cabin.

    It's not just any mattress pad, it's memory foam mattress pad. The friendly cabin crew more than makes up for the hostel style biz class seats.

    This is definitely worth calling out. I feel like I did not emphasize enough how good the mattress pad was.

    great trip report! I'm an Aussie but much prefer Air New Zealand than Qantas. Yes, the business class seat is a bit... weird, but I find it the best bed in the sky! The crew are always friendly and helpful. You should have asked the crew to make your bed. Love your dry humour! Looking forward to your next trip report

    Thanks so much! I can’t compare to Qantas business, but I think ANZ is definitely an underrated business-class product! They will be unstoppable once they have their new biz seats installed

    These seats for the price are the worst seats ever !!! I'm 6ft and feel like the seats are only designed for people much much smaller - anyone bigger, you're in for a real bad & uncomfortable experience and if you're even slightly over weight, watch out as you will undoubtedly feel the squeeze . And believe me, the toilets are just as bad - so small . "All" the seats are facing away from the windows - so you cannot see out !!! also you cannot sit next to you partner or wife or husband, in fact with the noise of the aircraft you'll struggle to talk to them. I genuinely do not recommend this seating or toilet option - certainly not worth the money. Staff and food was good, everything else a total failure !!!

    This is a good perspective and what I gathered was the general consensus on these seats. I got lucky with an empty cabin and the seat didn’t feel too cramped for me

    Though outdated and wierdly oriented these seats are pretty good for sleeping and for taller folk. A lot of Business Seats these days have cramped foot area while in bed mode and also require you to sleep on your side etc (eg Singapore Airlines)

    Does anyone know why Air NZ chose the weird seat configureation? Are they just trying to keep the point peasants out?

    Haha no clue. Must be the same logic that made Virgin Atlantic choose it. Seems like everyone has since come to their senses.

    I’m really not a fan of the herringbone seats. I was blessed to fly on the Jetblue Mint Studio and I wasn’t a fan of being angled towards the aisle where you can see everyone walk by you and you can’t see out the window.

    Agreed - it must be even worse on a narrow body. Does the door help at all? Fortunately the cabin crew on this flight were super friendly but also gave me my space, and there were no other people on my side.

    The door helped a little bit, but overall you could still see waist up on most people walking by. It probably would’ve felt a little more spacious on a wide body but overall I prefer Polaris, Delta One, or AA Flagship to Jetblue Mint. Nonetheless, it’s a great seat for the duration of the flights the plane serves. I would still love to try ANZ sometime!
