I tried Air New Zealand's one-of-a-kind Skynest and found the cozy bunk bed to be a great sleep option for economy passengers
The "world's first sleep pods in the sky" will debut on ANZ's eight new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners due to arrive in 2024.A full-scale model of Skynest is at the airline's cabin innovation center in Auckland, known as Hangar 22. I tried out the bed to see if it lives up to the hype — take a look.My first impression of the Skynest was how compact it looked from the outside.
Moreover, they are working to "tie the aircraft lighting so that when there is a lighting scene change, the suite lights will very subtly change to reflect the cabin lighting," per ANZ.ANZ head of aircraft programs Kerry Reeves told Insider that there is no price for the bed yet, but customer surveys revealed some want a "backpacker budget" of $200 for four hours, while others said the product is worth $800 for four hours.
The bunks may be a cheaper option than the company's Skycouch, which is listed at upwards of $1,800 for one person on a flight from Auckland to New York in February 2023, according to the ANZ website.The new sleeping arrangement will be located in economy class and replace five regular economy seats, Leaupepe told Insider.Specifically, the Skynest will be situated at door three, a large entrance space between the two economy sections on ANZ's Boeing 787-9.
