I gather they're starting to do this flight at the end of October, and it's replacing the 787 from last year (which had the old UA BusinessFirst and was way worse than NZ BP).
Yes, and a superior hard product to NZ. Soft product is variable, but so is NZ these days. Overall I enjoy it more than the NZ experience, since I eat and drink very little on long haul flights, and value a better hard product more than anything else. But NZ has better timing if you want to a full day to do work/other things on your last day.
