Air New Zealand unveils first onboard cocktails, new business class menu

Air New Zealand has announced its first-ever signature cocktails to be served onboard as part of a ramped up business class offering. A new 'Taste of Aotearoa' menu will also be served in the airline's premium cabins featuring the likes of kawakawa and horopito as "indigenous ingredients meeting contemporary cuisine". Together with the upcoming more spacious Business Premier seat layout - as well as the more spacious still new Business Premier Luxe option - the new announcements mark the national carrier upping the luxury factor on its ultra long-haul routes. The extra space, modern fittings and features such as a sliding door for greater privacy make the airline's swankiest seats more similar to those of Emirates, Qatar Airways and Singapore Airlines, although there still isn't a first class option on Air NZ.<br/>
