Air NZ First Class
Anyone been on Air NZ First Class (747) before and have any tips? I've been
on Quantas 747 first and can tell you to take advantage of the sleeper suits, the unlimited video tapes in the library and the continuous snacks and soups. But you don't always figure this stuff out the first time you fly it. Hence, anyone have any Air NZ First Class tips? Whats the best way to get to sleep on these not-lie flat beds? Etc? |

Hey ! you are flying frigging first class , so what do you reckon it will be like ? a hostess jump seat ? The best way to get to sleep is drink a skinful of free **** and pass out , just like the rest of us in cattle class do . Only difference is that in first class you gotta try and hold your farts in , down back we just let em rip . |

True, but the first plane does not go into service until June 2005. It
almost certainly will be on the AKL-LAX route ANZ have done a licensing deal with Virgin Atlantic to use there totally lie flat seats these are one of the largest seats in the air at the moment and are very comfortable. I have used them several times and are great (called Upper Class on Virgin) Whether ANZ have installed any yet I don't know but if they have you are in for a good sleep! |

Thanks Neil for the clarification - I was confused too about the switchover.
AirNZ webpage shows something that doesn't lie flat the whole way which is a bit of a drag given that I spent about 30% more for Air NZ instead of Quantas from the USA which I know has lie flat because I flew it to SYD in 2003. I'm wondering about more of the amenities. When I flew Quantas FC outbound I didn't know about how the movies worked - that you checked off a list and they were brought to you as you finished them. So I was watching the limited selection on the regular in flight system. I just didn't know the degree to which they bombard you with stuff if you only know what to ask. Hence, my question if anyone has flown Air NZ FC and has any tips on how best to get your miles worth. "Neil Raines" wrote in message ...

Air NZ going flat out to improve comfort 09.03.05 1.00pm Air New Zealand passengers wanting to fly to and from the United States will soon be able to buy lie-flat seats for just 25 per cent above the standard fare. Air New Zealand today released details of its revamped services to the US. People flying on the new "premium economy" class to Los Angeles will be able to travel on lie-flat beds for $2399 return from August 7 and to San Francisco for $2499. Air NZ is reconfiguring its 747-400s to have 36 Business Premier seats at the front of the main deck and a further 10 on the upper deck, 23 Pacific Premium Economy seats also on the upper deck and 324 Pacific Economy seats on the main deck. Boeing 747-400 services between Auckland, Los Angeles and London will be the next available from Saturday November 5. The company said it anticipated demand for the premium economy seating would grow and it was already looking for ways to expand availability onto the 747's main deck. The airline announced last week that from November it would double the number of flights it operates between Auckland and San Francisco from three to six return services per week. The increased schedule will take effect from November 29 and the airline would begin using its new Boeing 777-200 aircraft, which it takes possession of later this year. - NZPA http://www.nzherald.co.nz/index.cfm?...ectID=10114386 |

True and interesting. The only problem is the re-fit won't be done by the
time I am flying. Thx for the piece though. wrote in message ... On Thu, 3 Mar 2005 14:04:15 -0500, "true ba" wrote: Anyone been on Air NZ First Class (747) before and have any tips?
