Each seat features a personal touch screen monitor with Business and Premium Economy featuring 11" monitors, and Economy Class featuring 9" monitors. Business and Premium Economy seats are equipped with Premium Head Phones at each seat.

Overview

Air New Zealand operates the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner in a 3-class configuration on routes from Auckland to Perth, Shanghai and Tokyo. Business Class features flat-bed seating equipped with memory foam mattresses, a duvet, and two pillows.

The Premium Economy on the 787-9 is not the ANZ Premium Economy "Spaceseat" product, but instead is manufactured by US Seat Designer, Zodiac, and is referred to as a "Business-lite" seat. These seats have 9" recline and a 5" wide armrest. In addition passengers in Premium Economy will have an integrated leg rest with extendable foot support and an adjustable winged head rest.

Economy Class is configured in a 9 abreast, 3-3-3, configuration with 263 slimline Economy Class seats with a flexible head rest.

Economy Skycouch seats are featured on this aircraft and are available for purchase at an additional cost. These seats are indicated in blue outline on our seat map. Air New Zealand's description states that the Economy Skycouch is a row of three Economy Class seats that together create a flexible space for whatever you want it to be - an area to relax and stretch out in, or for the kids to use as a play area. It is like having your very own couch on the plane.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2020/02/21 for Seat 4A

There was a reasonable recline but the whole seat business is bizarre. To lie flat, you need to have the steward turn the seat over. The use of a seat mattress did make for a comfortable sleep, but when wanting to sit up again had to have the seat "turned over" again. I booked a veggie meal, because sure as apples, if I don't, I end up with the only choice being meat, which I do not eat. I asked for seafood as soon as I boarded, but they either did not have enough loaded, or they could not be bothered (this one, I think) and I had what I asked for, except I asked for veggie, not "poor veggie". The seats face away from the windows. They have "the largest windows in any passenger airplane" and the expensive seats face away from the window. Seriously? To see the view flying down the Southern Alps, I had to kneel on my seat and lean over the headrest. The steward was lovely and I was privately reassured by a staff member, the seats are on the way out. Sooner the better, for me.

Submitted by LG N on 2020/01/21 for Seat 23E

Middle seats sucks, no matter how you put it. At least you can sort of support your legs on the literature pouch and the leg rest lifts up higher than what I've found in PE on other airlines. Decent food, if a bit odd combinations.

Submitted by LG N on 2020/01/21 for Seat 24K

Middle seats are horrible, although this was at least a short flight. Unfortunately the staff isn't particularly nice. There was food on my partners seat and snot on her "clean" blanket and they treated us as if it was our fault even though we'd just boarded. The service manager was rather rude and would talk over my partner and direct all his questions to me instead. Not very professional at all.

Submitted by LG N on 2020/01/21 for Seat 24K

Pretty comfortable premium economy seats, decent food and huge pillows for PE. A bit snarky staff though, which isn't really suitable for an airline that flies to Asian countries, as people expect a different behaviour from the staff.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2019/11/30 for Seat 6j

I was in seat 6j, and was very impressed. The seat itself was very comfortable with good recline and a very comfortable pillow. When it converted to a lie flat bed with matress, again it was very comfortable, and the second pillow really gave me a good sleep. As it was at the back of the cabin, the extra "shelf" in the right between the seat wall and the bulkhead was great for putting bits and lieces on

Submitted by Doug C on 2019/10/19 for Seat 23J

This seat is very comfortable with legrest, a great incline and winged headrest but I still require a pillow to support my neck. Great view of the Business Class sleep pods. Cabin is quiet and the ambient lighting helps sleep. Food options were satisfying but the lack of real champagne compares unfavourably with PE on Singapore Airlines on the same route. I think the seat and cabin on this aircraft are superior to the 777 that Singapore Airlines flies. The entertainment options are fewer though. Thanks to the crew who enabled my quick exit for a very short transit at Changi.

Submitted by Phil R on 2019/09/10 for Seat 3K

BEWARE: 787-9 seats, although in a familiar ANZ herringbone configuration, are smaller/compressed than the 777 seat; like they took the seating and shrunk it by 15% or so. Shorter, narrower and with all around less room. Witnessed a larger and frequent passenger downgrade to Premium Economy because he just couldn't fit although he is fine in the 777 seating up front. Everything is identical in amenities and features but closer together and because of the shrinking, arm rests etc are misaligned. ANZ, a fantastic airline, just took an unpopular class configuration and made it worse by making it smaller on this airframe.

2 or 3hours before landing, galleys are bothersome for prepare breakfast.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2019/05/06 for Seat 4K

The oddity that annoys me about this seat is there is little recline with the seat. To lie fully flat, one has to get up as the seat back flips forward. So you don't have much angle of recline in the seat; it's either upright, a wee bit of recline or get up and put it fully flat.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2019/04/02 for Seat 3A

best Business class seat across the entire fleet. But still not good enough for 5k a piece. Can't wait for the new Business class seat coming at the end of this year.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2019/03/14 for Seat 2 K

Agree with other reviews--odd to sit at an angle. I found "bed" narrow and hard, even with thin "mattress". Service often too effusive, and meals not deluxe (a burger?). But really glad for non-stop to Chicago!

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2019/01/29 for Seat 47K

First time in a 789, and frankly I was disappointed. The seat pitch left me (178cm) feeling cramped and after ~2 hours of this 11 hr flight it was painfully obvious that the seat pans had little or nu stuffing. After 8 hours it was excruciating. Whoever selected these seats should have spent more than 30 seconds in them with another seat 29 inches in front of them. I will do my utmost to avoid this aircraft in the future no matter whose colours it is in (almost identical experience with Virgin Atlantic 789s)

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2018/06/01 for Seat 38F

Flight taken June 1st 2018. I noticed that all of the other economy seats had a foot rest than came out so when you reclined your legs were lifted off the ground for more comfort. This wasn't available on row 38 in the middle. I would therefore say this seat is inferior to others.

Submitted by Micheal G on 2018/02/27 for Seat 50K

SIN to AKL Emergency exit on 787. Legroom lovely. But seat armrest against plane wall so almost impossible to sit properly if you have a passenger next to you. Worst seat ever.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2018/02/18 for Seat 43abc

I fly solo between AKL and HNL 6 times a year for business on the Dreamliner 787. I highly encourage solo flyers to pay the extra for the Sky Couch option. I find it superior to Business for a fraction of the cost. Who cares about the food, I wanna sleep and at 6'2" I can comfortably curl and zzzzz.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2018/01/14 for Seat 24 AB

Fantastic airline with great service. Premium seats gave a true premium experience, with fantastic legroom for a 6'3" frame, even when compared to any other premium seats that I have experienced. 10/10 AirNZ.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2018/01/09 for Seat 1K

Proximity to the restroom wasn't as troublesome as I thought since they draw the curtains which separate business class and galley. Small numbers in business class share two restrooms with business class crew means less traffic between seat and galley. Seats are faced at an angle. As someone that likes to look outside during takeoff, it means turning my head a full 90 degrees to look outside. If you prefer not to see your neighbor in J (or vice versa), I'd recommend booking seats in A.

The bean counters have struck again. Squeeze in extra seats and never mind passenger comfort. The strange seat layout was most disappointing after reading the sales pitch. I am going to Tokyo next time and Air NZ is the only one offering a non-stop flight. Oh woe, what am I to do?

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2017/11/25 for Seat 25K

The Air New Zealand PE product is very good indeed; the inflight food and service was superb. However my seat table developed a fault when first used which meant I had to eat meals with a blanket under it for support. The flight crew said that another table in PE also had the same fault, so it looks like the design may need improvement. The seat tray folds in two for stowage, and seems rather complicated to use. Other than that, very good indeed

After changing from Virgin Atlantic LHR to Shanghai in comfort in Y class, to Air NZ on thier new 787-9 Dreamliner again in Y class my comments would be - be up front and advertise these seats for slim people only. They are absolutely deplorable for long haul flights - eg 10.5 hrs. To small, to uncomfortable and and impossible to eat a meal from. Does anybody actual try these seats out before offering them to the public? Try 3 adults together with a meal tray and try it! Pity Air NZ doesn't care about Economy Clients enough.Next time NZ to UK I'll use another airline.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2017/09/30 for Seat 35H

This seat was so much better than 37F given the uninterrupted legroom available. Pity the economy seats on this 787 do not have legrests (unless in SkyCouch rows) as it would have been even better. Note that there is a hard division between 35H and seats J and K so you cannot lift the armrests to sleep across the row.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2017/09/19 for Seat 25A

Premium Economy Perth-Auckland. Definitely worth the extra $$ for a mid-haul flight (5hrs). Comfortable seat, great accessories, excellent service and food. I struggle to sleep in economy but find it much easier in PE with the extra room and seat recline. Always tricky getting in and out of a window seat for toilet if your seat mate isn't known to you and is sleeping, PE does nothing to mitigate this...worth it if you can afford it.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2017/08/24 for Seat 4J

I flew from Auckland to Perth. The seating arrangement on the right hand side is awful with all the passengers looking at each other. The seat size is very small. Service was just OK and the food was not too good. If we fly direct between Auckland and Peth again it will be in premium economy. Don't bother with Qantas as they run 737s.

Submitted by Chuck N on 2017/06/25 for Seat 36A

I recently flew on this aircraft type on the Auckland - Singapore sector. My seat number was 36A. I must say I do have mix reactions flying on this aircraft type (and Air New Zealand in general). I have heard that 3-3-3 on a 787 Dreamliner is very cramped and uncomfortable, and that is true to a certain extent. This is only my 2nd time on a 787,and the 1st time on Air New Zealand's 787. The 1st time was about 2 years ago on Jetstar's 787, but that time we had 3 seats between the 2 of us, with the flight being pretty emppty so we didn't feel the "squeeze". This NZ flight was full to the brim, literally every seat taken, so we felt the lack of shoulder room - we don't have broad shoulders and even then we can feel it. Thank goodness Air NZ's seat itself was pretty comfortable and had good recline and support, which allowed me a good 5-6 hours sleep on the flight. The pitch/knee room was also pretty good, so that somewhat makes up for the seat width. I can't imagine if you had to sit next to a person with broad shoulders. Having said that, Air New Zealand's service was good, and with the 787's higher cabin humidity, it somewhat makes the flight a little more bearable. Overall I would rate my experience a 7 out of 10 - having a wider seat would certainly bump up the scores.

Our flight was Auckland to Honolulu, 8 1/2 hours on a night flight. Seats were very narrow & firm, with little leg room. The air circulation system was making the strangest wheezing noise like someone with a bad head cold. On the return flight we changed our seat choice to row 50 A & B, exit row. This gave us very good leg room but the seats were still very narrow & we are by no means large people. I would never choose to fly on this aircaft again & if it was the only option , I would choose another airline with better seating.

I recently (yesterday) returned from Singapore on this plane. I sat in economy seat 54K. After reading many of the reviews of the economy seats on this plane i was nervous about how 10hrs in one of these small hard seats would be. Well its not actually that bad. Its not the best economy seat ive ever been in but its far from the worst. The crew were good, the food was OK but the big difference is the cabin pressure in the 787. It really makes a noticeable difference to how quickly you get dehydrated, because you don't. The inflight entertainment system is very good to which helps on long haul flights. Overall id give this seat, plane and service a 7 out of 10, and its hard to get much higher than a 7 in economy class.

Great Seat With Good wing view amd in the middle of economy

I disagree with the majority of the comments, I found this seat to be very comfortable in terms of cushioning. I had plenty of legroom and the seat wasn't too narrow. Service was excellent and overall was a great flight. Would fly again

The Business Class arrangement is very odd. The seats are on such an angle that it is virtually impossible to look out the windows. They are so narrow and close to the next seat that you can hardly feel comfortable. Service and food were fine, but you feel like you are watching everyone go up and down the aisles. Would think twice before booking a Business Class seat on a Air NZ 787 again!

Totally bizarre business class layout, when you walk along the aisle it feels like youre walking into a meeting room everyone is so close together and facing each other. Its really not very nice. The seats themselves are really narrow so its hard to work or stow things. The worse thing though is you get no privacy because the dividers are so low you can look right over the shoulder of the person next to you. Just by simply turning your head you can literally see every single passenger in the cabin. The guy next to me could read everything I was writing on my laptop which is not acceptable in BC long haul. For a new plane Im surprised this is where Air NZ got to, felt more like a short haul option.

These economy seats are the worst I have experienced. Airlines keep claiming better effiency aircraft, what they don't tell you is it is at the passenger comfort. Really do they have no compassion in selling these seats for long haul flights? Criminal.

Flew premium economy from Tokyo to AUK with Air Nz. The extra space, comfortable seat and decent food make all the differnce on a long flight. Would fly Air NZd's Premuim Economy again

I booked seat 23F to give me leg room and no one in front but was asked to swap as a couple had been split up. I said yes then found I was getting seat 25E! Middle row. I must admit that I was pleasantly surprised at the huge amount of leg room (more than the bulkhead seat) and the space around me. It was a good seat and I won't hesitate to book this again.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2016/11/13

Extremely narrow seats, very little room to put feet, footrests almost impossible to operate. One of the noisiest flights I have been on.. Staff disinterested, service poor.When compared with A380 and B777 economy seats.. really no comparison.. Will never fly one of these horrors again.

Both myself and partner were seated in the middle aisle with a middle seat and an aisle seat. We both agreed that the seats wre too narow and with very narrow armrests as well and neither of us are overweight people. The recline was ok but the seats themselves are under padded and very hard . We were on the Perth/Aucland run and within 45 mins boths of our rumps were suffering badly. We both also found the cabin to be too hot (could this be due to the full cabin air con and higher humidy that is part and parcel of this aircraft) and although i have read about people complaing about the electrically dimming windows this did not bother us as we were in the cenre seating. The service and food was satisfactory but because of the extremely uncomfortable seats I will definitely not fly this aircraft again unless in an emergency.

The seating is very poor. We flew 6 hours WA to NZ non stop...packed in 3 a breast shoulder OVER shoulder. Very crampt. You sit down and immediately realise the above. The overhead lockers, there's no hope to reach them if you're short like myself. Noisy. Food was the only thing that was good.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2016/10/06 for Seat 5A

Seats feel much smaller on this plane. Do not like the way I am angled and having to look at my neighbours. For a new fit out I would have thought they could have added a larger screen. Movie choices are as limited as ever. Food was good and service was adequate.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2016/09/23 for Seat 3K

I flew the 787 in seat 3K and prior to my flight with the 787, I flew in a 777 in seat 4K. The difference between the two was quite noticeable. The shoulder width is definitely tighter in the 787, both in the seated position and lying flat. You also sit further forward in the 787, so the drink tray that folds down on your side is behind you instead of beside you. There's a seat buckle on the ottoman right where you put your heel. I have no idea why it's there as it wasn't present in the 777, so very odd??? Lastly the seat belt itself has a lot of padding on it, which makes the seat feel even tighter and as mentioned there is a real lack of privacy. The side walls are very low and for those in the middle or on the right hand side, you find yourself being forced to look at others across from you. I don't understand why the window seats don't face the window and you enter from the rear of the seat??? I find the Air NZ service to be excellent, but this new business class seat is one I'll avoid where possible in the future.

Best position! Nobody behind, which enables full recline. Closest to toilet and leaving the plane. Will plan on using these seats all the time!

The most uncomfortable economy seat I have ever had the misfortune to endure. No lumbar support, hard seat cushion, narrow, hard armrests, and the headrest is a waste of time. Never again.

A most uncomfortable ride due mainly to seat spacing .I would avoid using this aircraft again.

The premium economy seats while wider than economy are difficult to get comfortable in. Travelled with wife and we both commented how challenging the seats were. The remote is the only way to easily manage the ES because it sits on the bulkhead wall. Touch screen is the way to go if you can.

Very disappointed in 787, worst flight ever across Pacific. Electric windows a disaster, no sunshade, so unbearably hot. Terrible air conditioning on this plane. Poor seats, poor legroom. Plane vibrates/resonates! Entertainment system is OK. Inflight Air NZ service very poor - they've lost me as a customer.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2016/08/14 for Seat 38H

We travelled on the overnight flight to Honolulu and paid extra for the skycouch option in row 38. Never again it was a complete waste of money and most uncomfortable. Air NZ seem determined to turn themselves into the Easyjet of the Pacific.

Very nice Premium economy seat. Not as great as the Space seat in the nz1 or nz2 flights, but the same wonderfull in-flight service. Which pays off less during a red-eye flight ofcourse. Enjoyed it a lot! Great value for money.

Although the electrically dimmed windows are a nice touch, they only dim the visible light coming into the cabin, not the infra-red. This flight was a daytime westerly one, so the sun was on the starboard side of the aircraft for the entire trip, making the cabin temperature in the K seats almost intolerable, and the windows hot to the touch. When asked, the cabin crew said they had no means to decrease the cabin temperature and, with no mechanical shade to pull down, and no personal air vents, there was no way of making the flight any less uncomfortable. My advice... pick the shaded side of the aircraft.

Flying to Shanghai last year it seemed when the other toilet flushed perhaps next door the unit I was sitting on also flushed with associated wind whistling past the lower regions which was quite refreshing but somewhat of a surprise to the senses to say the least! Being a plumber by trade considered I may be able to charge a service call to have a look on how to fix.... Awesome plane to travel on!

For the 5 and a half hour odd flight from Perth To Auckland i and my group where incredibly squashed by the 9 across seating and the very tiny leg room it was very uncomfortable!! The food and entertainment was nice though. The controller for the dreamliners windows had fallen off before i boarded the plane, so it looked likethe plane was falling apart

Had the 3 seats for the two of us, so used Skycouch. I liked having the foot rests(Hubby didn't) but they were hard to get up and down. Padding on seat was very thin and not very comfortable. TV screen from seat in front reflected in my window and was annoying and since they do not have pull down window shades I couldn't do anything about it. Have also sat in 42j and that seat is hard and uncomfortable also.

The leg rests were very difficult to operate and we had to get assistance to bring them into position and to return them. I got my foot trapped under the seat in front of me.They need some adjustment

Touch down. Arrived in Perth W.A from Auckland. Remained seated as instructed until the aircraft had come to a complete stop and the pilot had switched off the seat belt sign. By this time my left leg was wet, my jeans saturated in dripping air-conditioning water. I spread my legs apart to avoid the dripping water. Not a pleasant way to arrive. Not one to complain I shrugged it off. Fortunately I'm not made of sugar, I did not melt.

If you are flying solo on this plane in business class, definitely go for an A seat, as the A seats have their own aisle and fell a little bit more private.

plenty of leg room but next to galley and toilets. No seat in front so tray table and entertainment in the armrests. Also nowhere to put anything (rubbish magazines etc). Toilet traffic only gets bad after meal and before landing.

An absolutely wonderful flight. The 787-9 is *Quiet*, and the environment is AMAZING. you can get off that plane feeling like a million dollars. The increased humidity and air pressure are very noticeable. I flew Auckalnd Shanghai in Business class, and its simply awesome. There is nothing wrong with seat 1A, so, the Be aware comment is just a bit over the top.

I was looking forward to this flight on the new Dreamliner but was disappointed. The plane looked immaculate, new and full of gadgets but that was it. The engine noise was loud throughout the flight and would recommend bringing noise cancelling headphones if you want to listen to the entertainment system. The window blinds are a nice touch but some were already not working well. Seat was uncomfortable and very narrow. I realise that you get what you pay for but this seemed more cramped than the 777 that I took recently. Overall left me unimpresssed.

Seats were fine. The lay flat bed was good and I got a good night sleep. The screens for the TVs are very old and my iPad showed much better movies - a shame with the price of the seat. Very grumpy staff on both the flight up and back.

There seems to be more pitch and the tray table appears shallower, which makes for a more spacious feel. This a very cool aircraft.

The pilot's rest area of the Boeing 789 is located in the ceiling and extends to the first three rows of the business class cabin.Meaning that passengers in seats 1J, 2J and 3J don't get their own overhead bins.
