We review the new technology in Air New Zealand’s Skycouch Economy seat.
With a bit of homework though it currently breaks down as follows for a return flight from Heathrow to Los Angeles (as described on Air New Zealand’s website).
1 solo traveller Skycouch = £530 + (£449* 2) = £1428
1 solo in Premium economy = £1056
1 solo in Economy = £530
2 passengers Skycouch = £530*2 + (£159*2) = £1378
2 passengers in Premium economy = £1056*2 = £2112
2 passengers in Economy = £1060
3 passengers (1 adult + 2 children/ 2 adults + child) Skycouch £530*3 + (£79*2) = £1748
With talk of Air New Zealand licensing the seat to other airlines I expect that more families will be taking advantage of this and with good reason.
