I've just been up to Japan on Air NZ (787). The past couple of years I've been lucky enough to fly Premium Economy, but this year it was Economy both ways (got a sky couch row, which while I couldn't use the service the seat pitch is a little better than the normal Economy seat).
The seat and roominess were fine. Sure PE is nice with a better selection of food and better service and more room, but from my experience I can't see the justification for spending so much more in PE (unless I'm not paying.....).
It's only 11 hours-a lot of us sit in a far more uncomfortable chair at a desk for 8+ hours a day for years on end.............

Of course not.
They are going to fit 236 seats into their 787-9 for London/Perth, as opposed to the 302 that AIR have on their 787-9 fleet.

Like for Like as you say, I wonder how many of these seats are the same given the various classes comparing the size of respective business, premium economy and economy cabin areas?

How Air New Zealand have configured their Dreamliners was driven by their strategy of intrinsically streamlining business value
So 302 seats it was and soon in some cases only 275

Fare enough then. Talking about different configurations I see AIR have specified their remaining three Dreamliner orders with only 275 seats. Apparently that gives them extra range to fly into heartland America.

Wonderful sleuthing Roger. Is the info on seating and heartland (Chicago maybe?) from anywhere official or did the hound drag it in from outside?

Thanks mate, I was pawing my way through the latest Australian Aviation magazine and sniffed it out in there.

So true, anytime nowadays I see a notification of AIR's senior management relevant interest disclosure notices, I just yawn and move on....
