Air New Zealand – Cattle class now cuddle class.
A couple spooning each other on board an Air NZ flight. Once a NO NO now this will be the norm in cuddle class.
Air New Zealand has just announced a new seating configuration which turns normal seats into a bed. This new innovation seems fantastic for anyone who has ever endured a long haul flight. But once you actually see the new seats and you will soon realise that ‘cattle class’ has been transformed into ‘cuddle class’.
Ozy will go out on a limb here and say that the new seats were designed by a woman. If not a woman it must be a man named Dominic, pronounced with a lisp, if you get my drift. Cuddling is a woman thing, and that since the dawn of civilisation men have struggled to understand this action.
The new innovation is called the ‘skycouch’ which will not only give you the ability sleep but will also burn an extra hole in your pocket as you have to purchase the adjoining seat.
I will be interested to see how the ‘skycouch’ goes. On the one hand it will be popular with middle aged women hoping for a little ‘cuddle action’ with their husbands. Alternatively, I can see it having the opposite effect on male travellers as they will; do anything to avoid 12 hours of cuddling with their wife or partner.
I have thought long and hard about this and to my male readers I will let you in on a secret. Unless they have reconfigured the seat belts, which I’m sure Dominic wanted, the only way to avoid the cuddle is if the seat belt sign is on.
That means that the captain’s announcement to return to your seat, which was once the frustration of every traveller, will be greeted with cheers from the men and despair from the women.
“ Excuse me ladies and gentlemen, this is Captain Gibbons here, the seatbelt sign has now been turned on as we may be about to experience some turbulence. Please return to your seat, make sure your seats are upright and your seat belt is fastened.”
‘Sorry love, was enjoying our cuddle but Captain says there is turbulence on the way, better put the ‘skycouch’ away.
“But this is the third time we have had to get this thing out and then put it away again and we aren’t even half way. There doesn’t even seem to be any turbulance”
“I know honey, all that wasted money and we can’t even sleep. Don’t worry we will get the skycouch out when the seat belt sign is off again.”
“Excuse me, Airhostess, here is $20. Can you pass it on to the pilot, he knows what the drill is.”
In conlcusion there is some great news about the new upgrade from Air New Zealand. Watch the video below advertising the new setup and look carefully at the 50second mark. Gone is the normal airline food – Air New Zealand is now serving Mc Donalds burgers. Check for yourself – the burger looks exactly like a Big Mac. Furthermore you can just order drinks via your TV screen. Now maybe a little cuddle action is not too big a price for McDonalds for lunch and all for the coke you want.
The guy in the suit doesn’t look too happy about the couple spooning in the background!
