Air Latest Zealand’s planned in-flight sleeping pods could cost nearly $100 an hour

Air Latest Zealand’s previously announced in-flight sleeping pods will likely cost between 400 and 600 Latest Zealand dollars ($250-$380) for a four-hour period, or as much as roughly $100 an hour, based on a recent press release from the airline.

Travelers flying from Auckland to Chicago and Latest York will give you the option to sleep within the sky from September 2024, the carrier said, having first unveiled the plans for the brand new sleeping quarters in 2022.

The Skynest sleeping pods will are available six-bed configurations and customers shall be in fairly close quarters, with a privacy curtain separating people in neighboring bunks.

Air Latest Zealand shall be offering multiple four-hour sessions per ultra-long haul flight, with half-hour for cleansing in between each session, and flyers will only give you the option to book one four-hour session per journey.

Each bed will include a pillow, sheets, a blanket, ear plugs and a reading light, in addition to a seatbelt so flyers can strap in should the aircraft encounter any turbulence.

The airline believes the introduction of Skynest will “revolutionise the in-flight experience for Economy passengers” and be “an actual game changer,” based on the press release.

The Skynest facilities shall be added to a few of Air Latest Zealand’s existing Boeing 747 fleet in Latest Zealand.
