Air New Zealand announced ambitious plans to bring dorm-style bunk beds to economy class.

The ‘Skynest’ sleeping pods will be installed on the airline’s new Dreamliners on long-haul flights from 2024.

The fixed position fully flat beds have a real mattress.

They will be located at the rear of the plane.

“We wanted to offer our economy customers a lie-flat option and that’s how Skynest was born. It’s going to be a real game changer,” Air New Zealand CEO Greg Foran said

“We have zeroed in on sleep, comfort, and wellness because we know how important it is for our customers to arrive well-rested.”

The bunks are an extra paid-for option, bookable for four-hour periods.

The airline hasn’t disclosed a price yet for ‘Skynest’
