Air New Zealand - amazing!

Our Boeing 787 is easily the fanciest plane (and probably the largest) I have ever been on.  The window shades were electric and you could tint the windows. Music played in the bathroom and the lighting made it seem like a nightclub.  The touch screens were super modern.


The safety video was the most entertaining one I've seen. Additional versions of their safety videos were also available to watch, including a Hobbit version. Lots of New Zealand information on offer as well, from slideshows about road rules and local tv shows ("Shearing Gang", about the life of New Zealand sheep shearers, was awesome).

The touchscreens also contained a hilarious chat feature - which would have been pretty useful if we weren't sitting right next to each other


And we treated ourselves to some slightly upgraded seats, so we could turn our seats into a couch of sorts. It came with a full set of instructions and a separate package of seatbelts so you could sprawl out and still technically be belted in.  A little frivolous perhaps, but also pretty awesome.
