Air New Zealand is rolling out “Skynest,” a new economy-class product that adds bunk beds to select aircraft, according to multiple reports. The airline is introducing the concept on some Boeing 787 aircraft, with the roll-out expected to begin later this year. The service is positioned as an innovation aimed at improving rest and comfort during long-haul travel, but it is designed for only a limited number of passengers. Pricing is described as time-based for those purchasing access to Skynest, with reports citing availability on sale at about $125 per hour. One outlet describes the product as among the airline’s most notable economy innovations, emphasizing that only a small subset of economy travelers will have access. Other coverage similarly notes that Skynest is already on sale and is limited to specific aircraft and routes. Overall, the sources agree that Air New Zealand is implementing bunk-bed-style seating in economy using Skynest on select 787s, with limited capacity and a per-hour purchase model.
