The Difference

Air New Zealand was the first airline to fly the Boeing 787-9, Dreamliner aircraft, one of the most advanced in the world.
When flying on domestic jet services, check in kiosks and bag drops allow passengers to check in much quicker and without having to queue.

The unique SkyCouch is a row of three seats that convert into a flat surface, able to be used as a bed by two people.
