My first Air New Zealand business class flight and the verdict was mixed. The crew and service were sensational, the entertainment system was really cool and the seats comfortable. But the cabin layout? No thanks.

On this Air NZ business class flight review I cover every aspect of my flight from Auckland to Adelaide on the beautiful 787. This includes the premium checkin and business class lounge at Auckland Airport, the boarding, take off, cabin layout (why did they go with this??), the seat and the amazing Air New Zealand crew.
