After Air New Zealand revealed new economy-class sleep pods, we look at other ways to make a long journey in the cheaper seats a bit more bearable
earlier this week, and amid surging costs, it has become more essential than ever to stay across the many ways you can improve an economy seat.One semi-luxurious option for long-haul flights is the “neighbour-free” scheme offered by Etihad Airways.
On an Etihad flight from Sydney to Abu Dhabi in June, one extra seat will cost only A$187, while two seats will cost A$373.Winners of the bid will be notified 32 hours before the flight departs, and while Etihad does not have firm prices, it’s a potentially cheaper way to have more room on a long-haul flight.
For example, on a flight from Los Angeles to Auckland, a Skycouch will cost you an additional $1,300 per customer, on top of your ticket price., which can be booked for up to four hours and cost between NZ$400-$600 . Qantas, through its “bid now upgrades” scheme, Virgin through its “upgrademe premium bid”, along with Malaysia Airlines, Etihad Airways and Cathay Pacific, all offer upgrades on select flights for passengers to bid on.
