Air New Zealand

Air NZ gave me definitely one of the nicest Economy Class experiences I’ve had for international flights. The food is actually pretty decent. They come by often with water, and you can order other food at any time. The blanket is warm. The screen in the back of your seat has tons and tons of options (we watched four movies between NZ and Hawaii!). Compared to US airlines, there is MORE LEG ROOM, meaning I could actually get some sleep.
The website is a bit clunky, especially if you are already booked and trying to access your information. But they’re great on the phone.
Air NZ isn’t cheap, but we were flying there around Christmas and New Year’s, when everyone’s prices are inflated, so I’m not sure how they normally compare to other airlines.
I’ll wait until I’ve flown with them more than once to give them 5 stars, but Air New Zealand is definitely in the running.

I love AirNZ! They are perhaps my favourite airlines to fly with. Service is excellent and everyone is super friendly. The flight attendants even take time to chat with you if they are not busy! I’ve flown with them many times over the years and varying lengths of flights and its always great.
You get your own little tv too which is nice. Seats are comfy and you seem to have more legroom than other planes. Planes are super clean and they give you decent food that you’ll actually want to eat and not want to be sick over. PLanes that have good food are important to me cause I ALWAYS seem to be the one to get sick from it and refuse to eat the food on many planes.
Prices are extremely reasonable for the level of service and always fly with them whenever possible. My favourite airline… did I say that already?

We flew them several times to Auckland and they are great. Business Class is almost liek first class. Food, service and wines were fantastic. Would have done 4.5 if it was possible. You cna fly out of san diego or san fran and it isnt much time difference.
