Revealed: These are the cool new features coming to Air NZ planes

Passengers can look forward to using their own headphones and wireless charging as Air New Zealand’s new jets begin arriving next year. The airline has eight new 787 Dreamliners on order, which will feature a completely new cabin design. Some of the most publicised features include the Skynest sleep pods and Sky Pantry snack bar, but there are a few other exciting developments that have flown under the radar. Gone are the days of the little packet of headphones that deliver average sound. The new in-flight entertainment screens will feature Bluetooth connectivity, which will allow a connection straight to your own wireless headphones. For anyone who owns a pair of noise-cancelling headphones, this will make your entertainment experience significantly better. Not only will your sound be better, but your picture too. Currently, Air NZ’s Dreamliners offer a 9-inch screen in Economy, which is a little underwhelming. The Emirates A380 is considered to have one of the best entertainment screens for Economy passengers, coming in 13.3-inches. However, the new Air NZ Dreamliners will match that, which will be a significant improvement for passengers. The screens in Premium Economy and Business Premier are also getting larger.<br/>
