Long haul experience

Travel to or from New Zealand with thoughtfully designed cabins, warm Kiwi hospitality and more choice in how you dine, relax, stay entertained and rest along the way.

A journey designed around you

A long haul flight is about more than the seat you choose. It's the time you spend eating, watching, working, resting and being looked after along the way.

From thoughtfully designed cabins and warm Kiwi hospitality to cuisine, entertainment, connectivity and distinctive ways to rest, our long haul experience give you more choice over how you spend the journey.
