When we are traveling in Economy class, we often feel or wish to just lie down, but then we realize it’s economy class. But Air New Zealand understands this feeling very well and is going to launch bunk beds in Economy class soon.
After this, New Zealand Airlines will become the world’s first airline to introduce bunk beds in Economy class. Air New Zealand named it the “Skynest” which will be the world’s first sleeping pod in the sky. The “sleep pods” will transform plane travel for individuals taking the economy class.
The most special thing about Skynest is this is for economy class and which seems like a dream for budget travelers. As per sources, Air New Zealand is planning to launch it next September and there will be 6 bunks for economy-class travelers. For lengthy routes like Auckland-Chicago and the upcoming Auckland-New York JFK route, bunks will be available.
To facilitate long-distance travel between the region & the east coast of the United States of America and Europe, the introduction of sleeping pods in airlines is being put into action. Additionally, this will encourage tourists to purchase their tickets and increase tourism in the areas.
According to reports, this is a part of the transformation of its wide-body aircraft and its new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners. Even though the luxury is modest, it has a significant impact on passengers who look for even a little comfort.
Do you know where this idea comes from? An Air New Zealand representative remarked, that when they performed research or surveys, they came to know that “sleeping while on board is the most essential thing for the best customer experience.”
