Hi

Never flown air NZ but we are contemplating a trip down there (from London) with our two kids (ages at flight would be 3.5 yrs and 9 months respectively. So one needs own seat, one will need to be on lap at takeoff / landing).

Looking at the options if we fly Air NZ, skycouch looks great, but I am assuming that in order to actually get the benefit we might actually need to book two of these (so in both cases probably an adult in the aisle seat and the nipper in the window and middle, with the footrests up.

Is that a sensible way to do it? (presumably we need the pod thingy for the baby).

Is it generally ruinously expensive that way?

I have a lot of oneworld points (and BA Gold / OW Emerald status) so I'm not ruling out using OW flights. I'm just intrigued by the skycouch (and also have family in LA, so a stopover there is also an option).

Thanks a lot for any info
