Air New Zealand has announced a unique, cost-effective solution to help economy passengers get some rest during long-haul flights. Their new product, called the Skynest, is a sleep pod designed to be used exclusively by economy-class passengers. The Skynest contains six pods featuring bed linens, a pillow, privacy curtains, and other conveniences. The airline plans to launch the Skynest in September 2024 on certain flights, including two routes to the United States. This first-of-its-kind design is an excellent option for passengers who want to enjoy some much-needed rest during their flight without busting their budget.
