Flying in economy is bad enough on any flight, but imagine flying across the Pacific Ocean in what can be a 12 to 16 hour flight in cramped seats. Most long haul flights like that actually give you relatively comfortable seats even in the back, but Air Zealand has upped the ante with their newly introduced “cuddle class,” which allows you and a significant other to share a kind of couch/bed called the “Skycouch,” and a lie-flat style of seating that leaves room for two people to get close.
Many long flights offer bed-style seating, where there’s enough room for passengers to lay their seats out flat like a bed and get a good night’s sleep when they’re traveling from London to Tokyo, for example, but these are the first types of seating that allows you to cuddle up close to your significant other during the flight.
The new seating classes are available on Air Zealand’s new Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, and will be available for passengers traveling from New Zealand to destinations like San Francisco, Los Angeles, Honolulu, and Vancouver.
