J class questions: pyjamas etc
First time on NZ for LAX-AKL-MEL-AKL-SFO. Flying in J and wondering what exzperience is like compared to QF, CX, LH, BA etc. How is AVOD, food, etc. Also are pyjamas provided?

So much better that it is on another page to QF, LH & BA. Better than CX, but not in the dimension that it is better than the others.
Especially on the 777, which you will have LAX->AKL->MEL, the 747 which you will have from AKL->SFO has a similar business product, just not as good AVOD, which can be more than made up for if you're able to get a seat upstairs, or either of the 2 in the nose.
No PJ's on AirNZ, but just wear some Qantas ones, sending them a subtle hint, as I always do....

Note that NZ sell their Front end product as "Business Premium" - being a Hybrid First/Business class product, so it really should be better than the "Business" product of other airlines in the region.

It also looks like the amenity box is no more and it's the container used for premium economy now.

They really cheapen their product with cr@p like this. Really, how much does a nice little make up bag, such as most other airlines use, cost. Especially in today's world with every mum & pop knock off shop in china able to produce these things for nix.

As if my space isn't valuable enough without having to find a space next to me for that stupid box.
As an aside, what's with the cotton tied edge to the PE pouch? You know, the part you have to tear open? Of course, I suppose it's cheaper to manufacture a stitch than a zip (or a button).

They moved to a corduroy style drawstring back, I think around 2008?
