The SkyCouch is being pitched as ideal for couples or families, and follows an exhaustive evaluation of 30 different economy class seating options.

Yesterday Air New Zealand treated some lucky TRENZ attendees to a preview of the new cabin product which will feature on its upcoming 777-300ER, under development for over five years.
The carrier said the 777s would “re-invent the long-haul travel experience” with new galleys, bathrooms, food and seating – as well as access to wireless email and text messages.
Business class (above) retains the herringbone format allowing every passenger aisle access, but has a new thicker mattress, full size pillows, larger personal entertainment screens and new “on-demand” cuisine – with the introduction of induction ovens allowing food to be cooked from raw rather than just being re-heated.
