But a four hour break from the seat for a lot of people will be nice. Especially seeing AirNZ isn't following QF with a "yoga" area.
Will be interesting to compare a seat + 4h vs a solo sky couch for cost.
They say premium economy pax may also come back. I wonder if they will get their requests processed first or if truly a first purchase best dressed scenario.
I guess will also mean the first meal in Y is going to have to be timely as would guess people would get pissed off if lost some of their 4 hours to meal.

But comapred to a Y seat, lots of room. And for bigger people having more foot room may be nice compared with some business seats where some people have issues.

While better than nothing those biz seats look terrible. What other airlines have these seats? I feel like Virgin Atlantic may be one of them.
I agree with the poster above that unless meals are done on demand for Y and PY you dont want to lose your 4 hour skynest slot. I wonder where the seatbelt placement will be but these beds look very tight.
Even the captain wouldnt say on camera that they offloaded bags.

Food looked good though.

Pretty obvious you've never actually flown in the seat with comments like that. The screen pops out so there is absolutely no issue with the viewing angle.

Remember Skynest is a economy product so going to tight. It is not a spacious business product.
Didn't he talk to a FO not the captain? Also not sure at what point they offloaded the can vs when that interview was done. Given some stuff coming up by the flight which may had a tech stop in Nadi they are doing calculations, load and balance, etc right up to push back, so they can reduce the cone of uncertainty on the weather down route.

its a shame they no longer have the "in business premier you can choose your own seat position" from the safety videos, since it isn't too obvious.

The seat belt I guess would be across the torso in the sky nest like all the other lie flat options across airlines.
