AirNZ PE Spaceseat

[Golf888]

Hi,

Looking for the current AirNZ North America special....
- PE Spaceseat on 777-300... experience? feedback? are the seats wider than Economy? Recline further? Front seat not reclining into the back seat? Any best seat to choose in PE?

- PE pricing from $3396+ (more for Spaceseat).... any experience on whether this pricing is the best we could get around this timeframe.... Leave Syd 2nd week of Sept; return 1st or 2nd week of Oct.

thanks for the feedback

Seat width is 20 inches. They have are a fixed back so there shouldn't be any issues with people reclining back into you.

Took me a moment to realise you were looking at YVR... LAX is $3009 which is $200 or so better than "usual".. I assume the YVR prices represent a similar reduction...

The Spaceseat seems to be very much a love or hate proposition. The recline is not enormous..and the "Tilt" function is widely considered useless...

I am however one of the folks who actually LIKE the seat... My preference is for an aisle seat in the middle row... as I travel solo... The front row has more legroom.. but is also IIRC the Bassinet row... and under the new regime I believe those seats do attract an extra charge...

Full disclosure... I buy PE when using my Comp upgrades to Business.. If they don't clear then it is a pretty decent fall back...
