Air New Zealand has a solution to the airplane seat recline debate

The airline has just revealed its fully redesigned 787-9 Dreamliner, which was several years in the planning and 184 days in the retrofitting.

The new cabin experience is spread across Business Premier, Business Premier Luxe, Premium Economy and Economy.

Business Premier seats have sliding privacy screens, a 24-inch inflight entertainment screen, and a full lie-flat recline with a headrest lift for movie-watching. The front row of Business Premier is given up to Luxe seats, which have a full closing door, a larger bed and space for two to dine.

Premium Economy seats have increased storage space, side wings for privacy, plus a fixed outer shell so that passengers can recline their seats without disturbing the person behind them — a detente in the reclining seat war.

Economy passengers will get 50% bigger inflight entertainment screens, new snack trays and stowage options, plus there’s a new Economy Stretch seating option with 39% more legroom.

The aircraft will enter service on May 19, flying from Auckland, New Zealand, to Brisbane, Australia. Later that day, the Dreamliner will complete its first long-haul trip from Auckland to San Francisco.
