Air New Zealand will soon add triple-tier bunk beds for economy travelers to have a chance to sleep on long-haul flights.
The airline plans to open bookings for the four-hour, lie-flat beds on Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners starting in November.
The pods will be on the Auckland to New York route, one of the world's longest commercial flights.
Travelers can book a curtained pod for an additional fee, but must follow etiquette rules.
The airline assures cleanliness and provides earplugs for potential snoring.
Passengers are forbidden from eating snacks or smuggling other passengers into the pods.
