The Global Traveller details Air New Zealand’s introduction of a Space+ product, more legroom at the front of coach akin to United’s economy plus.

They’re starting with short-haul planes, which strikes The Global Traveller as odd. But it’s a clear improvement and these seats are open to Air New Zealand elites, Koru Club members, and to Star Alliance Gold members — the latter being a benefit that United used to offer but sadly took away.

Meanwhile, Air New Zealand has updated its video on demand offerings.

Way to go Air New Zealand!
