Air New Zealand review by Horst 2015-10-24

Used ANZ from AKL to Japan /Narita. Very new and modern aircraft. Bid for upgrade and won. However, upgrade means to Premium Economy, not business class. As first time ANZ experience I paid for nothing. 25kg luggage (I only had hand luggage), comftable seats and almost business class service. At least what the ticket service promised. Not sure were, but not in that aircraft. Seats are the same size like economy, food is not great. Stewardesses seam to be employed by weight and size. One time experience, never again. EDITORS COMMENT: The seats are quite different to Economy in that there is 4 inch more legroom and double the recline. They also have a leg or foot rest and slightly more width. if you were expecting a Business class seat then of course you would be disappointed in the Premium Economy seat - they are VERY different but this seat is very much what premium economy is and it's different to economy. In fact Air New Zealand has one of the best premium economy cabins in the world.
