A Reason for New Zealand

For once--something revolutionary in air travel, that is thoughtful of all of us that fly in coach. (If I read one more article about all the new and exciting things that different international airlines offer in first--from birthday cakes being baked to in-room showers...)
Air New Zealand has created a new seating set-up, which some are calling "cuddle class", on their long-haul flights between LA and Auckland, and London and Auckland, on their 777-300 planes, where the seats become a flat bed. The way this happens is you lose your foot rest area, which folds out to create more sideways sleeping space. We always wanted to go to New Zealand, but now it's on the really short list. Now I just have to find how to use miles to book a flight...I looked at prices for spring break and they were around $1600 per person from LA to Auckland, and around Christmas they jump up to around $2000.
