Hmmm, it amazes me that NZ actually implemented this. It must have gone through a number of checks and surely someone there would have piped up and suggested that J pax actually prefer J service.

AirNZBoy. I am sorry but I have to disagree. On a first class on business class flight for 4 hours in a meal window (most of NZ transtases are in the meal window) you would be served a 2-3 course meal, with proper cups and not in a box.

As NZ/Aus is international you would also be fed on United for an international flight and often in Y.

Transtas is a key route extactly like trans atlantic is for the US and should be viewed that way.
