Nasty departure time from YVR.
Cannot recline pod seat during plane on ground, taxiing, TO, landing, taxiing and on ground.
IFE not operational at all times as mentioned above.
Lousy food and beverage.
Shorter seat/bed.
Ottoman does not double as a seat for a person to dine, play cards, converse with.
Seatbelt announcements everytime seatbelts required.
Having completed another trip today in NZ's BP, I realised a forgot a couple more items.
NZ's inflight concierge available to all pax irregardless of flight class or status.
No advertisements in the IFE, including when it is available in all phases of being on the plane, and while your BP seat can be reclined in all phases.
