[QUOTE=mad_atta]While I agree that it sounds like NZ have dropped the ball with a slightly half-hearted attempt at premium economy (I haven't tried it personally), that claim about the legroom is well wide of the mark. Thai have 34" of pitch in their best Y seats (the same as NZ's 744s, by the way; United have 34-35" in ther international Econ Plus product; AirNZ's premium Y is 38-40".

Thanks for the clarification... I should have checked my facts first on legroom first! I guess what i was trying to convey was that overall I did not feel it represented value for money, especially not in the 777. Actually am booked in PE on a flight to Hong Kong next week on the 747 but only because I am told I have a good change of getting a standby upgrade... fingers crossed!
