Air NZ's new Dreamliner has more seats in the pointy end
The first of AZ's new-look Boeing 787-9s has arrived in Auckland, with a freshly configured interior offering more premium seats. The airline says this is in response to growing demand for premium travel and the aircraft will be used on its Auckland-Houston route from December, the first time a Dreamliner has been used regularly on North American services. Increasing numbers of leisure travellers are sitting up the front of planes to and from New Zealand as fares drop amid hot competition. Air NZ's 4 new Dreamliners will have 27 Business Premier seats, up from 18, and 33 Premium Economy, up from 21. Air NZ was the first airline in the world to take delivery of the 787-9 aircraft in 2014 and this latest arrival takes the airline's fleet to 10 Dreamliners. <br/>
