Hi,

Something to consider when choosing flights to NZ. Air New Zealand are having a re-fit 'a la virgin atlantic' and are having 3 classes: Pacific Economy, Pacific Premium Economy and Business Premier. If anyone has travelled on VS they will recognise the style and layout of the cabins.

Good news for people wanting a bit more leg room at a reasonable cost. :mrgreen:

Auckland - LA will have the new fleet in Nov.

Forgot to say, it's also worth noting that if your flying Business Premier via LAX you have access to a seperate transit lounge for immigration/security checks etc and so avoid the usual scrum. :P

:laugh I read that second post a bit too fast first time around. I could have sworn it said you can avoid the usual "scum". Whoops! :oops:

A slight aside. LA being where it is, you still cant have a crafty smoke.

LOL :laugh

Anyhoo, any encouragement not to smoke is a good thing! :mrgreen:

I'm flying out with ANZ next month, I picked up my tickets this afternoon. I notice that the London to Auckland leg is classed as "Enhanced" ecomony. I just bought the cheapest tickets going.

Anyone fly on ANZ and tell me what the enhacements are ??

Thanks Milliemoo - this is such great news - we've got quite a few people :hopeso coming out for our wedding in January next year so they'll all be hopefully able to fly out in a bit more comfort! :nice1

Hi,

Yup, looks like a really good product. The LHR - LAX route will be the new config from Nov.

Sorry Foolsgold, not sure what that means. Have a wee look on flyertalk.com and see what you can find.
