Air New Zealand on reLAX tour

Air New Zealand launches the AirNZreLAX tour this week to showcase its innovative Economy Skycouch and Premium Economy Spaceseat seats to travel agents and consumers across the UK.

The airline, which flies daily from London Heathrow to Los Angeles and onto Auckland, will embark on the tour in Edinburgh on 13 May and travel through Glasgow, Preston, Sale, Manchester, Chester, Liverpool, London, Brighton, Oxford, Cheltenham before cruising into Bristol on 22 May.

Bringing the inflight experience to the road, the transparent tour truck will house Air New Zealand’s revolutionary Economy Skycouch and Premium Economy Spaceseat products which ensure Air New Zealand customers arrive LA ready.

The Economy Skycouch™, made up of three economy seats which convert into a flat space, is the first of its kind in Economy, offering passengers the freedom to spread out and get comfortable.   The Premium Economy Spaceseat is famous for its futuristic hard shell design which allows customers to recline without encroaching on the space of others. The seat comes in two variants to cater for customers wanting to relax with a travelling companion as well as those who prefer privacy during a flight.   Air New Zealand’s revolutionary seating, along with inflight entertainment and award-winning food and wine mean customers in every cabin arrive refreshed and ready to enjoy the delights of LA.

At each city stop, Air New Zealand is inviting local residents to step onboard to meet the cabin crew, try out the award-winning seats for themselves and share their experiences on social media.

To kick off the tour, Air New Zealand has launched the nationwide #AirNZreLAX competition for the chance to win return Economy flights for two with Economy Skycouch™ upgrades from London to LA. Competition entrants simply need to submit a photo of their best “reLAX” pose; whether reclining on the couch at home or unwinding on holiday in a hammock, via Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and www.airnz.co.uk/relax.
