Correct, I recall a media article many months ago quoting a DJ spokesperson saying "it will be nothing like exisiting travel to the US"

That could mean many things, from in-flight massages, more bar areas, premium economy (only Air NZ has that, and every article I read only ever mentions Qantas and United flying to the US)

It definately won't be 30-31 inch seat pitch nor a typical LCC.

If they link the US flights to Velocity Rewards imagine the points you would get for Mel-USA flights Many free flights in Aus as a result!
