Air NZ upgrades Houston service, adds another flight to Argentina

Air NZ will fly a new configuration Dreamliner between Auckland and Houston from later this year as it targets more of the premium market. The airline will also step up flights to Buenos Aires from November to meet strong demand. Services to the Argentine capital will increase to up to 5 a week during the summer peak - up from 4 at present and 3 when flights started in Dec 2015. The 787-9 Dreamliner services to Houston will operate up to 7 times a week during the peak season. Increasing demand for premium travel means the 3 Dreamliners scheduled for delivery from October this year will come with a fresh new cabin configuration that will increase the number of business premier seats from 18 to 27 and premium economy seats from 21 to 33. <br/>CE Christopher Luxon said there would also be more flights to Osaka this year. <br/>
