We flew out on Air New Zealand and decided to try out their sky couch option. Basically you purchase a row of 3 seats and they fold out into a couch and include a pad, blanket and pillows.

Idea: 10/10 for a 13 hour flight when sleeping is a challenge

Value: 6/10 as it’s MUCH cheaper than upgrading your seats to business and premium and there is a discount if you’ve already bought two seats

Execution: 4/10, all the videos we watched to learn more must have involved actual hobbits as neither of us are tall people and Jason’s feet would have been in the aisle if he fully stretched out

For 2 grown adults, who no one would consider vertically gifted, it’s a bit cramped, but does help to get a few hours of much needed sleep. One note of caution, families with small children seem to really like these so be warned that you may get seated smack in the middle of families with children crying and screaming throughout the flight, but nothing some earplugs can’t handle. #vincentadventure #newzealand #travelblog #travel
