TOUR INCLUSIONS
Air New Zealand’s Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner is a revolutionary aircraft with a focus on cabin comfort. The Dreamliner is the perfect plane for this journey into the stars as it has windows which are 30% larger than any other Boeing wide bodied aircraft and 20% larger than the new Airbus aircraft. Also, the Dreamliner emits 20% less emissions than its nearest comparable aircraft in the same class, has the latest HEPA microbial air filters and a seat pitch of 33” in economy. The aircraft is fitted with state-of-the-art technology to reduce turbulence, improve noise quality and reduced aircraft vibrations for a smoother flight. The Business Premier suites offer fully lie flat bed, while premium economy offers a luxury leather seat with a 22cm recline. Economy cabin seats offer 12cm recline seats. All seats come with HD screens, adjustable headrest, in-seat power and USB connections and reading light. This aircraft offers the ultimate comfort for long-haul flyers.
Aboard our privately chartered state-of-the-art 787 Dream liner, you will experience unparalleled viewing of the magical Aurora Australis. Enjoy Full Air New Zealand service – including premium drinks, delicious meals, and access to full inflight entertainment when outside the Aurora zone. The duration of the flight is approximately 10 hours, and the Aurora can typically be seen after about two and a half hours flying – it’s an experience like no other. Viewing of the Aurora is an exciting experience, but it is important to note that there is a difference between viewing the Aurora with the naked eye versus what the camera captures. Striking images and videos of the Aurora that you may have seen are captured thanks to the extreme sensitivity of modern digital cameras. To help guests we will have a photographer onboard who can assist you in getting the best possible results. If you are an avid photographer or astronomer, we highly recommend you choose a premium seat or book a full row in economy to guarantee window access throughout the duration of the flight. Guests should be aware that once in the Aurora zone the cabin lights will be turned off to enable best viewing. Cabin crew will not be able to move through the cabins with their trolleys to serve drinks. However you can access these at any time by moving to one of the galley areas on the plane where cabin crew will be waiting and will have light so they can safely provide your beverage. Also note that onboard this special flight people will be moving around the different cabins as they interact with our astronomy team. This is a fun and exciting experience, please approach it with an open mind.
