Today we'll fly in one of the weirdest business class seats we have ever seen as we head to beautiful Bora Bora! And along the way we'll be unveiling our new flight rating system which we'll use to rank this flight in ten different categories out of a possible 100 total points. So join us on this very unique adventure as we fly to the tropical paradise of Bora Bora!

When you live in NZ you recognise there are two levels of business class… short haul and long haul… you should rate the experiences separately.

I like the way Jeb Brooks does his flight ratings where he rates the individual components “as-is” and doesn’t really use comparisons to competitors as a factor. This seems like the fairest way to assess an airline’s offering as a whole product. That said I think it would be super cool if you came up with rankings across airlines within each category. So that way it would be easier to see where airlines excel and fall short in a way that is not fully captured by one aggregate score.

Still watching this video, and excited for the rating system to debut. 😊 But if it were me, I would say it’s totally unfair to factor in first class experiences when rating! Like 1-10 ratings for business class should just be how good a business class experience should be! For example, I wouldn’t dock Air New Zealand a point in check in for not being as good as a check in for first class. Just my thoughts. ❤️❤️

I watched this Daily Drop because Kara and Nate where there! Regarding ranking systems: It might be a good exercise to create a set of guidelines for each ranking grouping. i.e., What would ruin a flight in each category for a 1 or 2 rating? What amenities, features and courtesies would constitute a 9 or 10? What would you expect in an average flight experience for a 4-6? Is a single event like (delay, security shutdown, airplane evacuation - all have happened to me!) going to influence the ratings? Then, come up with a quick primer that could be used for every future comparison to set the stage for the newest experience.

We had the opportunity to fly Air New Zealand business class from the US to Australia and return on United business class. While the ANZ seat configuration has some initial awkwardness during boarding, the design for long haul flights is far superior to many other business class offerings - United included. The bed itself is exceptionally comfortable and you do not have a footwell to restrict you. The service and food are also far better than what we experienced with United. For any US to Oceania flights, we would always choose the ANZ option, even if it required a layover vs a nonstop option. Not to mention the value of redeeming miles via ANA!

Would recommend changing the rating system based on short and long-haul flights. Also recommend defining what you are calling first and business class because they differ between a North American first and business class compared to the rest of the world. Also, might recommend splitting the rating system between luxury airlines such as Singapore, emirates, and Etihad versus say Lufthansa, Air New Zealand and other star alliance or oneworld partners. Overall, great video and look forward to seeing more reviews with whatever rating system you continue to implement and use.

Y’all are awesome!! Something y’all could do for bigger categories is break them into subcategories and rate them like a decision matrix. Where you rank them like normal, but subcategories are weighted based on their importance, and then all the subcategories values are added together, which becomes your full category value. It’s a take on a decision matrix but there are some good visuals out there haha. Thanks for the great content as always!!

Some high-level recommendations on your scoring system: 1) Expand "check-in" to "Itinerary Performance" and expand the scope from just check-in, to boarding, potential delays, flight route deviations, changing of gates, lost luggage, landing @ different terminal than planned (sucks if you have a connecting flight) etc., (really any non-conformities that might occur and affect the schedule). At least that is how we (consultants) usually "score" operational efficiency when analyzing clients efficiency levels if they are a service provider, such as: cruise lines, airlines, railway companies etc. 2) Ref. to your point, Nate, on how to compare the different flights in order to create a benchmark. You could separate the score on the flights into categories based on time: under 3hrs (short flight), under 8 hours (mid distance flight), over 8 hours (long distance flight). Then if you want to get even more detailed, you could do international/domestic flights within each of the three categories - which would give you 6 categories in total (that might be a bit much for the purpose of the scoring system though:) ).

Your points system is good, and like you said your emirates experience is totally different from this one. Instead of them competing against each other, and having to dock points from Air New Zealand, maybe you could create categories that route/lines compete with each other. For example, Long Haul, Short Haul, Domestic.

Weighing in for the Air New Zealand Business class seating. From a design, weight and interiors configuration perspective, this arrangement is great! The are no extra furniture walls to produce and with fewer components, there is less overall weight on the airplane, both of which reduce design and operating cost. As a future biz class passenger, this open-air seating is my worst-case-scenario for a flight experience. There is some expectation of privacy in a lay-flat seat, yet here it seems almost completely open to the cabin from every location.

I think the best way is to compare Class to Class. I realise you don't often fly P. Economy, though, since those usually share food service with Business Class food would be good. I think some things should be purely analytical (if you've seen a Doug DeMuro chart), like the Cubic Feet of the seat, the number of Movies/TV or a Speed test of the Wi-Fi (with a zero if they don't have any and minus two if you have to pay for it). I do think having real Baristas, Chefs, or Bartenders should give a higher score in Lounges than ones with just a Buffet, free drinks, and Nespresso/coffee machines. I also like there to be showers and Business things like printers. That's why Virgin Airway's lounge in SFO has been the best I've been to (Fresh food, Bar served with Bartenders Showers); second is Fiji Airways with a Bar and Showers with Buffet.

Love your work. This video took us through two of my favourite places on earth: Auckland (home) and French Polynesia (my spirit home). On my absolute favourite airline, our very own @Air New Zealand! I don’t see it as the Prius of airlines. Air New Zealand delivers reliably and well on all the key metrics. Product and service is always top notch and they acknowledge when they (rarely) get things wrong. If you try to deliver exceptional service quality while growing unnecessary product width that’s unlikely to translate into competitiveness. Unless you’re floating on petrodollars.

A suggestion for the rating system (since you asked) scale of 1-5 for business class, 5-10 for first class (or 1-5 for economy, 5-10 for business, and 10-15 for first class). This way, if something in business class is as good as first class, you can give it a rating in the first class range, but crappy first-class issues can be rated as business class.

The ranking system needs a multiplier based on retail price. It’s not fair to compare a Toyota and a Porsche. There needs to be a multiplier based on what the full price fare would be to level the scoring.

They're bringing in different planes on their AKL - MEL and AKL - IAH routes with a nicer 777 that's leased from old Cathay planes and don't have this silly layout. So excited to try it out later this year!!! But this was a super helpful review :)

I'm surprised Air NZ would use second-hand aircraft. They always used to buy new and sell their old planes to SE asian airlines. Garuda, for example. How the world changes.

@@grahamcook9289 From what I've read it's a tiny bandaid to help with demand while they update their fleet? The articles listed one plane/tail number so not sure if it's a widespread change across the airline

​@@grahamcook9289not buying, they're dry-leasing it from Cathay for a few years. At the end it'll go back to Cathay. Also this 777 will be 4 class configured so Cathay first class seat will be available.

I flew from Dallas to New Zealand on ANZ in March. I thought the plane was pretty (purple lights) but seats were uncomfortable. Food was good though. New Zealand wine was amazing.

Have been a huge fan for years; love ur videos. Please please be careful running to the gate at the last minute. I'm a former gate agent and there is a cutoff rule where non-boarded seats can be dropped and given to stand-by's (airline employees included). However, not sure but y'all could be getting to the gate much earlier just seems like y'all are running it down to the wire. Just looking out for the both of you and not missing a flight. Keep up the good work!! Hugs from Atlanta :)

I think adding a category that compares cost of the first class seats would be helpful. So for example, if a four hour first class seat on Emirates is $6,000 and a four hour first class seat on Air New Zealand is $4,000; that would be a handy comparison. You can’t always compare something equally if the prices are very different.

Air NZ’s real strength has always been their service. Consistently better/friendlier than other options we’ve used long haul (including Singapore Airlines). Seat score was a bit harsh - it’s a pretty comfortable place to be. And I’ve never had a problem with the layout/privacy. With the mood lighting it’s a fairly ‘intimate’ space. Appreciate it could be an issue when you’re filming - but that isn’t what ordinary travellers are doing. AirNZ’s interiors were industry leading (about 20 years ago…) - really looking forward to the launch of their new interiors in 2024. Sampled the new menu on a recent Premium Economy trip to Chicago - genuinely some of the best airline food I’ve had (and I overhead others making the same comment). 👍🏻

Flown 3 times in Air NZ business class on their b777 and found the seating the worst of all the airlines i have flown. The service was average (albeit on a Trans Tasman flight) as this is supposed to be an international flight ! The only positive I can say was the check in at Auckland - that was nice. Other that, I cannot recommend Air NZ at all.

Perhaps you should put long haul, short haul and Domestic flights in their own categories and scoring. Possibly comparing flights with equivalent travel time in to categories.

You need score in the class it in then add + if it goes above its class . So a business class that above most first classes has + on it. So a plus would be for going above and beyond for the class.

These are the old Virgin Atlantic business class seats from the mid 2000s. The whole skinny thing is not my favorite, but it still is a business class seat. I’ll take it over compressed side-by-side, or a facing business class like British air.
