As keen supporters of the film and entertainment industry, Air New Zealand offers a daily London-LAX service, on-board innovation and an exceptional understanding of passenger needs.
Is there an international route more travelled in the film world than London-Los Angeles? With Hollywood studios producing an increasing number of major blockbusters on UK soil, to take advantage of superb crews, state-of-the-art studio spaces, leading VFX houses and generous tax incentives, and UK film-making talent making the reverse journey to deploy their skills at the beating heart of the US entertainment industry, the LON/LAX leg acts as a creative umbilical cord between two creative centres.
Flying nonstop daily between these two film and entertainment hubs, Air New Zealand has earned a position as one of the most desirable airlines to fly the route, offering passengers a unique blend of comfort and service that is grounded by the airline’s focus on true product innovation and its commitment to delivering a world-class flight experience.
As keen supporters of the film and entertainment industry, Air New Zealand understands its passengers’ travel needs from last-minute ad hoc travel to full-blown production logistics. Adaptable and flexible, the airline can discuss bespoke solutions for specific production and corporate needs.
On board
Ground-breaking cabin features such as Premium Economy Spaceseat™ and Economy Skycouch™ complement thoughtful touches such as being able to order drinks and snacks on demand from a touch screen, giving airborne customers an exceptional long-haul experience. Particular pride, too, is taken in the crew: helpful, professional and possessing that down-to-earth Kiwi touch.
Space to relax in Premium Economy
The airline’s award-winning Premium Economy Spaceseat™* has a fixed-shell design, creating an uninterrupted seat pitch of 42” and avoiding fellow passengers reclining into your space. A cabin more premium than economy, benefits include Premium check-in, an increased baggage allowance of two 23kg pieces; a unique 2-2-2 seat configuration and a premium food selection.
Lie-flat in Business Premier
Designed with sleep in mind, Air New Zealand’s leather armchairs convert to a 6’ 7.5’’ lie-flat bed with a memory-foam mattress, fluffy duvet and full-sized pillow. Passengers can select from chef-designed menus; a 12.1’’ touch-screen entertainment system with more than 1,800 hours of content, in-seat power and USB connections. Further benefits include Premium check-in, airport lounge access and an allowance for up to three 23kg bags.
Put your feet up in Economy
The Economy Skycouch™* is an upgrade option for those wanting more personal space: a trio of Economy seats with leg rests that rise to create a flat horizontal space with a couch length of 5’ 1”. Share a Skycouch with a colleague to benefit from a spare seat between you. Other Economy features include a 33’’ seat pitch, touch-screen entertainment from the moment you board and refreshments on-demand.
Flight schedule
With a departure from London Heathrow in the late afternoon, flyers have more time to make those meetings and prepare before leaving the UK, with arrival in Los Angeles at around 8pm.
