Air New Zealand Fleet Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner Cabin Interior Class Configuration and Seats Layout

Air New Zealand operates the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner in a 3-class configuration on routes from Auckland to Perth, Shanghai and Tokyo.

Business Class features flat-bed seating equipped with memory foam mattresses, a duvet, and two pillows.  

The Premium Economy on the 787-9 is not the ANZ Premium Economy “Spaceseat” product, but instead is manufactured by US Seat Designer, Zodiac, and is referred to as a “Business-lite” seat.

These seats have 9″ recline and a 5″ wide armrest.

In addition passengers in Premium Economy will have an integrated leg rest with extendable foot support and an adjustable winged head rest.

Economy Class is configured in a 9 abreast, 3-3-3, configuration with 263 slimline Economy Class seats with a flexible head rest.

Economy Skycouch seats are featured on this aircraft and are available for purchase at an additional cost.

Air New Zealand’s description states that the Economy Skycouch is a row of three Economy Class seats that together create a flexible space for whatever you want it to be – an area to relax and stretch out in, or for the kids to use as a play area.

The 787-9 includes all of the standard Dreamliner features – larger windows, higher humidity, a lower cabin altitude and cleaner air – but in its 302-seat configuration, it will be divided into four classes – Business Premier, Premium Economy, Economy Skycouch and Economy.

At the front end of the aircraft, passengers will be able to make use of lay flat beds, Premium Economy will offer a 41-inch seat pitch in customised seats designed by Zodiac, and in Economy, the customised, slim-line Zodiac Economy seat offers more space and a flexible headrest.

In between Premium Economy and Economy, there will be 14 rows of Economy Skycouch – Air New Zealand’s own seating design, which allows three seats to be converted into a single couch.

As for the in-flight entertainment (IFE) onboard the 787-9, Air New Zealand is again displaying its appetite for innovation, having opted for the Android-based Panasonic eX3 system.

Other carriers do offer Panasonic’s Android-based product – including Norwegian on its 787-8 Dreamliners, but Air New Zealand has gone a step further to ensure its offering has a unique spin.

This airplane may accommodate 302 passengers in three classes: 18 in the business class, 21 in premium economy and 263 in the economy class.

Business class seats are located in the first 6 rows per 3 in each of seats and have 180 degrees recline.

All these seats are standard.

Only the seats of the 1st row have such a disadvantage as proximity of the galley and lavatory.

Also these seats offer bassinet locations for passengers with babies.

Premium economy class consists of 3 rows of seats that have 2-3-2 configuration.

For passengers travelling with babies the seats of the 23rd row have bassinet locations.

263 seats of the economy class are divided into two sections.

First section consists of 16 rows of seats: 15 of them have 3-3-3 configuration and 1 row with 2 seats.

The main disadvantages of the seats 34JK and 35DEF are: location of the galleys and lavatory in front, reduced width of the seats and lack of floor storage during take-off and landing.

Passengers travelling with infants are often seated here.

Passengers of the seats 35ABC will take advantage of extra legroom.

However, proximity of the lavatory and galleys, reduced width and lack of floor storage will cause discomfort to passengers of these seats.

Also these seats offer bassinets.

As there is no seat in front the seat 35H gas extra space for passengers’ legs but at the same time this seat is often bumped by other passengers and crew members passing by.

ABC seats of the rows 36-43 as well as the seats HJK of the rows 36-41 when purchased together may be converted into Economy Skycouch by raising extendable foot rest and creating couch-like seat that gives additional personal room and comfort during long-haul flights.

Location of the lavatories behind and limited recline make the seats of the 49th row bad seats.

The second section of economy class seats has 16 rows.

Thanks to the exit row located in front the sears 50ABC and 50HJK provide passengers with extra legroom.

Among disadvantages: the noise from the galley and lavatories located in front, reduced width because the tray tables and TV are built-in the armrests making them immovable and lack of floor storage during take-off and landing.

Close location of the galley, reduced width of the seats and no floor storage during take-off and landing are the main disadvantages of the seats 52DEF.

Passengers tend to congregate in the area of the seats 63ABC, 63HJK, 64DEF and 65DEF while waiting to use lavatories and thus causing discomfort to passengers of these seats.

Air New Zealand Fleet Boeing 777-300ER Cabin Interior Class Configuration and Seats Layout

This 777-300ER series plane features Air New Zealand’s revolutionary new Skycouch for some Economy Class seats, new Premium Economy SpaceSeat and an improved Business Premier seat and service.

Economy Skycouch seats are featured on this aircraft and are available for purchase at an additional cost.

These seats are indicated in blue outline on its seat map.

Air New Zealand’s description states that the Economy Skycouch is a row of three Economy Class seats that together create a flexible space for whatever you want it to be – an area to relax and stretch out in, or for the kids to use as a play area.

It is like having your very own couch on the plane.

There’s 2 business premier cabin.

First cabin which is from row one to seven.

The second cabin, which is in front of premium economy, is across rows 9 to 12.

The product is arranged 1-2-1 (A, B-J, K) so everyone has direct aisle access.

In total there are 44 business class seats measuring 22 inches in width, and 79 inches when in fully flat mode (with 33 inches of shoulder room).

Like Virgin Atlantic’s Upper Class, they are in a herringbone formation so window seats are angled away from the windows.

They have the same shape as well, pods having low walls for a certain degree of privacy (more when lying down on the fully flat bed), plus off-white leather upholstery (aubergine for the ottoman, which doubles as a guest seat).

A button releases the seat, which folds forward to create a flat surface for sleeping on.

Menus and amenity kits (containing socks, an eyemask, Ashley and Co lip balm and moisturiser, a toothbrush and paste, mouthwash, a pen and a mint) were placed on the ottoman in front of each seat.

Bedding bundles and pillows were neatly piled behind the seat back.

There are USB and universal power sockets below the 11-inch touchscreen entertainment monitors, which also have a remote built in underneath.

Large, solid tables pop out of the side of the pod (crew tend to operate these when beginning the meal service) and there are smaller drinks trays that fold out next to the screens.

There is no wifi on board.

Rows one and two are nearest the galley at the front of the plane, while row seven and 12 are nearer the central galley so there can be some noise and cold air coming through, although the curtains remains shut for most of the flight.

The washrooms are closest to row nine and there are bassinets for babies behind seats 12B and 12J in premium economy, which could mean there is some disturbance if they start crying.

The second cabin is smaller, which some people might prefer.

Other than that, all the seats will offer the same level of comfort and aisle access.

Air New Zealand’s 777-300ER features a 2-4-2 premium economy cabin.

Each premium economy seat is 19.5 inches wide.

The pitch between rows is 41.5 inches, which allows enough space for you to slide past your neighbor when the seat in front of your neighbor isn’t reclined.

The recliner-style seats are covered in leather, and are particularly comfortable in the upright position.

There are two buttons on the armrest — the forward button deploys the legrest while the rear button reclines the seat.

The legrest didn’t fully extend automatically, but you could pull on it while pushing the button and it would fully extend.

The footrest extended from the legrest instead of being attached to the seat ahead of you.

You could fold out the footrest and then use a lever on the legrest to set the height of the footrest.

This type of footrest could be good, as shorter passengers could adjust the footrest to fit their needs.

Each seat had a single seatback pocket.

There was a safety card and motion sickness bag in the pocket, but no other material.

And since these seats didn’t have a hard shell, you could feel when the passenger behind you added or removed items from the pocket.

Although seat supports and inflight-entertainment boxes were located under the seats, there was ample under-seat space for personal items and legroom.

Plus, the overhead bins were large enough that most passengers could stow their personal items and carry-on items overhead.

There was a large headrest on every seat that could be raised to support taller passengers.

The headrest had wings to support your head while sleeping, but these wings were spaced far apart, so they didn’t provide adequate support without you bending your neck or leaning your body.

The tray table extended from the armrest.

The table came out in bifold form, and there was a cup divot in this form.

The bulkhead seats had the same legrest and footrest as the other premium economy seats, but they also had an IFE screen that extended from the armrest.

At the back of the premium economy cabin, there were two lavatories.

The premium economy cabin was curtained off from both business class and economy, so these lavatories were mostly used by premium economy passengers.

There were no special amenities, but they felt modern, and the flight attendants kept them well-stocked and clean throughout the flight.

First 11 rows of the airplane contain the seats of business premier class.

These seats are divided into 2 sections and have 1-2-1 configuration.

There are totally 44 flat bed seats of this class.

These seats can be transformed into a full-fledged bed.

First section of business premier class has 7 rows of seats.

Location of the galley in front and lack of overhead bins are the main disadvantages of the seats of the 1st row.

The noise from the galley and lavatories located behind will cause discomfort to passengers of the seats of the 7th row.

Behind the exit row 4 more sections of business premier class are located.

Passengers traveling with infants are often seated on the seats 9A and 9K because these seats of bassinets.

Proximity of the galleys and lavatory will represent problem for passengers of the seats of the 9th row.

Facing into the lavatories makes the seats 9B and 9J bad seats.

Situation when behind the seats 12A and 12K fly passengers with infants may be bothersome.

Behind the seats of business premier class 54 recliner seats of the premium economy class are located.

There are totally 8 rows of seats here.

7 rows have 2-4-2 configuration and 1 row contains 2 seats.

Passengers of the seats of the 23rd row will take advantage of extra legroom.

However, these seats are a little narrower than standard because the tray tables and video displays are in the armrests making them immovable and have no floor storage during take-off and landing.

The seats 23AB and 23JK are considered good seats.

For passengers with babies the seats 23DEFG have bassinets.

Close location of the lavatory and galley is the only disadvantage of the seats 28AB, 28JK, 29D and 29G.

Location of the seats of the 30th row between lavatories and proximity of the galley make these seats bad seats.

244 seats of the economy class are located in two sections.

Due to protrusion of the exit doors the legroom of the seats 34A and 34K is limited.

Also, passengers of these seats may get cold during the flight by the exits.

Passengers of the seats 34B and 34J on the contrary will take advantage of extra legroom.

For passengers with babies these seats offer bassinets.

The seats of the 34th row have some common disadvantages: reduced width ad lack of floor storage during take-off and landing.

Passengers traveling with infants are often seats on the seats 35B, 35DEFG and 35J.

Proximity of the galley may cause discomfort to passengers of these seats.

As the tray tables of the seats 35DEFG are built-in the armrests the width of these seats is reduced a little.

Lack of floor storage during take-off and landing is another disadvantage of these seats.

The seats 36C and 36H are considered the best seats because they offer additional space for passengers’ legs.

However, these seats are a little narrower than standard and have no floor storage during take-off and landing.

ABC and HJK seats of the rows 37-46 if purchased together with the neighbored seats may be converted to the Economy Skycouch seats because these seats have extendable foot rest rise of which transforms the common seats of economy class into a couch-like seat that provides passenger with additional personal space during long-haul flights.

The pitch of these seats is 33 inches.

The main disadvantage of the seats 46ABC, 46D, 46G and 46HJK is close location of the lavatory and galley behind.

The seats 47DEFG are considered bad seats because of limited recline, galley located behind and lavatories located on the both sides of the seats.

Second section of economy class seats consists of 13 rows.

Thanks to the exit row located in front the seats of the 48th row provide extra legroom.

Among disadvantages of these seats: lack of floor storage during take-of and landing, reduced width and proximity of the lavatories and galley.

Protrusion of the exit doors may cause some discomfort to passengers of the seats 48A and 48K.

For passengers with babies the seats 48C, 48DEFG and 48HJ are equipped with bassinets.

Due to missing seats behind, other passengers and crew members passing by may bump the seats 56C and 56H.

The noise from the galley and lavatories located behind will cause inconvenience to passengers of the seats 59AB, 59D, 59G, 59JK and 60DEFG.

Limited recline makes the seats 59AB, 59JK and 60DEFG bad seats.

Air New Zealand Fleet Boeing 777-200ER Cabin Interior Class Configuration and Seats Layout

Air New Zealand wide-body aircraft Boeing 777-200ER shares similar configuration with its larger version, the Boeing 777-300ER.

This Air New Zealand Boeing 777-200ER aircraft features a three class configuration with 26 flat bed Business Class seats, 40 Premium Economy seats, and 246 Economy seats.

Economy Skycouch seats are featured on this aircraft and are available for purchase at an additional cost.

These seats are indicated in blue outline on our seat map.

Air New Zealand’s description states that the Economy Skycouch is a row of three Economy Class seats that together create a flexible space for whatever you want it to be – an area to relax and stretch out in, or for the kids to use as a play area.

It is like having your very own couch on the plane.

There is only one business class cabin on the Boeing 777-200s, located between doors 1L and 2L.

Because everyone else boarded through door 2L, there was no additional foot traffic through the business class cabin and the flight attendants were able to walk around to assist passengers and serve pre-departure drinks.

As for the Boeing 777s, only some of the 777-200s are still configured with the first generation Business Premier seats.

The rest of the Boeing 777-200s, 777-300ERs and 787-9 Dreamliners are all outfitted with the second generation Business Premier seats.

But don’t worry if you find yourself with the first generation seats.

The second generation seats are just newer and prettier.

Functionally, they are nearly identical and offer the same width, pitch and lie-flat surface.

On the first generation Boeing 777-200s, the Business Premier cabin is configured with 26 seats in a 1 x 2 x 1, herringbone layout.

These are the same type of seats used by other airlines such as Air Canada, Delta and Virgin Atlantic.

Behind the business class cabin is a small premium economy class cabin with 64 seats in a 3 x 3 x 3 layout.

The premium economy seats offer 41 inches of pitch and 17.8 inches of width.

However, you should know the tray tables are located in the fixed armrests and cause the seats to lose a little bit of width.

So yes, you are getting a ton of extra legroom but you will sacrifice a tiny bit of hip space.

Behind the premium economy cabin class are two economy class cabins with standard seats in a 3 x 3 x 3 layout.

Standard economy seats offer 31 to 33 inches of pitch and 17.8 inches of width.

These aren’t the best numbers but they are better than economy class seats on their Boeing 777-300ERs with 10 seats across and 17.1 inches of width!

Business Premier seats are true, lie-flats.

They offer 79.5 inches of pitch, 22 inches of width and when fully reclined, the bed measures 6.5 feet in length.

Each seat is equipped with its own personal Audio Visual On-Demand (AVOD) In-Flight Entertainment (IFE) system, universal electrical outlet and two personal reading lamps.

These seats have a ton of storage spaces nearby but the seat itself felt a little confined and claustrophobic.

In addition to the overhead bins, there are plenty of small pockets at the seat to keep your passport, cell phone, laptop and other small electronics nearby.

The ottoman doubles as a guest seat if you want to have dinner with someone and as an extension of your seat in bed mode.

Herringbone seats are great for solo travelers as they offer direct aisle access for every passenger but not so great for people traveling together.

The window seats all face away from the windows and the two rows of center aisle seats all face away from each other.

Business class consists of 26 flat bed seats that have 180 degree recline.

The only disadvantage of the seats 1BJ is location of the galley in front the noise from which may cause discomfort.

Galleys and lavatories located behind the seats of the 7th row may also represent a problem for passengers of these seats.

Behind the business class seats 40 recliner seats of premium economy class are located.

There are totally 5 rows of seats that have 2-4-2 configuration.

For passengers travelling with infants the seats 23AB and 23JK offer bassinets.

Among disadvantages of the seats of the 23rd row are: close location of the galley and lavatory, reduced width and lack of floor storage during take-off and landing.

Economy class may transport 246 passengers.

The seats of the economy class are divided into two sections.

First section includes 12 rows of seats.

Position of the bulkhead will cause inconvenience to passengers of the seats of the 35th row.

As the tray tables are in the armrests the width of these seats is reduced a little.

Passengers traveling with babies are often seated on the seats 35ABC and 35HJK as these seats offer bassinet locations.

ABC and HJK seats of the rows 36-44 are the seats that may be converted into Economy Skycouch seats if three seats will be purchased together.

The foot rest of ABC and HJK seats can be raised creating a couch-like seat that is very comfortable during long-haul flights.

Close proximity of the lavatories may represent a problem for passengers of the seats of the 46th row.

The second section of economy class seats is located behind the exit row and includes 15 rows of seats.

Thanks to the exit row located in front passengers of the seats 47AB and 47JK will take advantage of extra space for their legs.

However, as the tray tables are in the armrests making them immovable, the width of these seats is reduced a little and these seats have no floor storage during take-off and landing.

Another disadvantage of these seats as well as of the seats 48C, 48DEFG and 48H is congregation of passengers in this area who are waiting to visit lavatories located in front.

As there are no seats in front the seats 48C and 48H are often bumped by other passengers passing by.

Passenger travelling with babies are often seated on the seats 48DEFG that have two bassinet locations.

These seats are narrower than standard and have no floor storage during take-off and landing.

Passengers tend to gather (in order to visit lavatories) in the area of the seats 59AB, 59JK, 60D, 60G and 61DEFG causing discomfort to passengers of these seats.

Also, the seats 59AB, 59JK and 61DEFG are less reclining than standard and these seats are considered bad seats.
