Advantages: Smart new interiors, good in flight entertainment and good choice of food and drink

Disadvantages: none

Travelled from London Heathrow to Auckland via Los Angeles on Air New Zealand's recently upgraded Boeing 747's.

The investment has really paid off as the seats are comfortable, the inflight entertainment excellent, plus the most generous legroom in economy class among all the airlines. The only slight hitch was that they had to reboot the entertainment system during one of the flights which meant it was off line for around half an hour. It is not as fast as Singapore Airlines' system and if you try to be too quick with it the software can lock up.

Food and drink was plentiful (wine straight from the bottle) and regular runs offering alcohol and water throughout the flight from friendly staff.

Got to be up there with Singapore Airlines as one of the best in the world now. Excellent

Summary: upgraded Air New Zealand product is excellent
