Air New Zealand Adds USB Ports, Power Sockets To Each Seat

3:35AM January 27, 2010 | Kat Hannaford

When you’re flying 90 odd hours just to get to Auckland from the States, you’d be wanting to charge your iPod or laptop at least once. Air New Zealand’s done a major overhaul of its Boeing 777 plane, with sockets and USB ports galore.

It’s not just for the suit-clad first class and business class passengers either. Eleven Skycouches that turn into flat beds for two will make those weeks in the air fly past quickly, with the other seats providing extra leg room and comfort. But that’s not the best bit – the power sockets, iPod connectors and USB ports on each seat will blow people’s minds. You know, for that full three-month long flight to Wellington.

    my flight from Melbroune to Auckland had USB sockets, and a good FREE in flight movies. it was mid last year

    And when we came back, same deal, but they forgot the stupid gate so we had to wait another 30 mins, which gave me time to finish the movie :)
