Air New Zealand will soon offer a solution that involves climbing into a triple-tier bunk bed wearing special socks.<\/p>\n<p>The airline will open bookings for four-hour stints in the Skynest sleep pods and says they will be the first lie-flat beds for budget air travelers. Fliers will get cozy with their fellow passengers, however, so crumbs, strong perfumes and bedsharing are forbidden. <\/p>\n<p>The curtained berths will be available to economy and premium economy fliers on the airline&#8217;s new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft from November. The planes will service the Auckland to New York route, one of the world&#8217;s longest commercial flights that currently leaves economy passengers sitting upright for a marathon 16 to 18 hours. <\/p>\n<p>Instead, travelers will have the option of a pre-booked four-hour spot in a curtained pod, with costs starting from 495 New Zealand dollars ($291) on top of the price of their economy tickets. But use of the six pods, arranged in a triple-bunk style layout between cabins, will put fliers in close proximity to others, prompting the airline to publish etiquette notes.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/04\/17\/f73c7df9-bdbf-402b-8a56-1fc14d724ccf\/thumbnail\/620x413\/e7048724e88b16e8e77d984023130b79\/ap26107165150589.jpg#\" alt=\"New Zealand Plane Economy Bunks \" height=\"413\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/04\/17\/f73c7df9-bdbf-402b-8a56-1fc14d724ccf\/thumbnail\/620x413\/e7048724e88b16e8e77d984023130b79\/ap26107165150589.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/04\/17\/f73c7df9-bdbf-402b-8a56-1fc14d724ccf\/thumbnail\/1240x826\/7934ed700cfbb891c311ad5896f319ba\/ap26107165150589.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">This photo provided by Air New Zealand shows sleeping pods in a mock-up of a plane cabin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Air New Zealand via AP<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>No snacking, and other rules\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>Passengers must refrain from snacking in the pods, which can&#8217;t be used by children or any additional visitors. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That means solo snoozes only please, no musical nests or tag-teaming,&#8221; Air New Zealand&#8217;s website says. For those worried about cleanliness, the airline assures travelers that the pillows, blankets and sheets supplied &#8220;are all refreshed&#8221; between four-hour naps. <\/p>\n<p>Fliers are also required to change into specially provided socks to enter the pod, fasten their seatbelts over their blankets and forgo dousing themselves in any smelly &#8220;perfumes or potions.&#8221; Passengers will be woken by a gentle change in lighting at the end of their four-hour stint in the bunk \u2014 or by a flight attendant, possibly less gently, if they don&#8217;t rouse in time. <\/p>\n<p>Each berth is about the length of a regular bed \u2014 80 inches \u2014 but the pods don&#8217;t leave headroom for sitting up and access &#8220;requires bending, kneeling, crawling, or climbing into the space,&#8221; the aircraft&#8217;s website says. The bunks are 25 inches wide at shoulder height, tapering to 16 inches at the foot of the beds. <\/p>\n<p>Seats or couches that convert into beds in the sky aren&#8217;t a new offering for business and first class travelers, but Air New Zealand believes its lie-flat bunks for economy travelers will be a world first. <\/p>\n<p>The offering from New Zealand&#8217;s national carrier is the latest from airlines seeking to sell seat upgrades and other add-ons to economy travelers. Air New Zealand first announced the economy beds were in development in 2020. <\/p>\n<p>The airline has increased fares and cut some domestic flights from its schedule in response to increased jet fuel costs during <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/us-iran-tensions\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">the war in the Middle East<\/a><\/span>. In March, it suspended its earnings outlook due to fuel price volatility and warned that more changes to its routes were possible. <\/p>\n<p>But on one of its longest flights, travelers might finally get some shut-eye \u2014 although they should expect snoring, for which earplugs are provided, the airline said. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Statistically, someone&#8217;s going to do it,&#8221; Air New Zealand&#8217;s website reads. &#8220;It might be you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation  \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"component__item-recirc-block\">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">Go deeper with The Free Press<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n      <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<section class=\"content__tags\">\n<p class=\"content__tags__label\">In:<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/triple-decker-bunk-beds-air-new-zealand-economy-class-long-haul-flights\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wellington, New Zealand \u2014\u00a0Sleep on a long-haul flight in economy class has always been a fantasy for many travelers.
