I thought the press release from Air New Zealand was a joke, but no, seems they really are going to have "lie flat" seats in economy class - sort of.
Two people have to buy three seats (the 3rd is at a reduce price), and even then I don't think someone over 5ft 11 is going to be very comfy, but still, it's way cheaper than business class, and as anyone who flies long haul knows, being able to stretch out makes such a difference to arriving fresher and getting over jet lag quicker.
Nice one Air NZ.
