Air New Zealand's Business Premier Class

Back in 2005, I got to travel in Air New Zealand's new Business Premier Class. (http://www.airnewzealand.co.nz/travelinfo/ontheplane/business/business_premier.htm) I was impressed.

It does feel a bit different from a regular seat in that you don't face the front of the plane. The seat is on an angle.

Some of the features that I loved were:
* Having an ottoman to rest your feet on. This ottoman can also be used as a seat by a travelling companion so that you can dine at the table that comes up in the middle. This would also be great for face-to-face meetings.
* The pop-out personal television screen and control were easy to use and this was a fun way to spend the time.
* The seats fold down to completely flat when you want to rest which is very cool.
* The little areas for putting drinks, newspapers, reading material etc.
* Being able to take-off and land in a reclined seat position if you wish.

I would give Air New Zealand a strong 9/10 for their Business Premier product. Why not give it a go?
