Welcome to the Great Food Escape.

This 10-part series was first screened in February on TV3 in New Zealand. You can watch this show during your flight using the in-flight entertainment system on board all our international aircraft. New Zealand residents can also view this online on the TV3 website.

You’ll see world-class kiwi chefs and Air New Zealand food consultants Rex Morgan and Geoff Scott turn fresh ingredients into gourmet fare and award winning winemaker and Air New Zealand wine consultant Kate Radburnd will match the perfect drop of wine.
