• Bookings for the Skynest open next month for travel from November, initially on routes between New York and Auckland.
• The new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft will feature six lie-flat pods, equipped with mattresses, bedding, privacy curtains, and charging ports.
• These pods are available as an add-on for economy and premium economy passengers, with sessions limited to four hours and priced from $495 NZD (£215).
• The initiative aims to make long-haul travel to and from New Zealand more manageable, enhancing the journey for passengers.
