We want to stop over wherever the plane lands. Neither of us has any desire at all to visit Los Angeles or San Francisco. I might consider coming back via LAX. Maybe."If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur." -- Red Adair0 -
Oh I see so youre not doing it all in one day.
San Fran is a nice city
But if you dont want to go there, what about just flying straight through?
Or, give up the nice seats and have a few days in HK then. Although dont know if you could then go back through LAX.0 -
Well, I did the booking. Flying out Air New Zealand premium economy with a 2 day stopover in Hong Kong.
Flying back Air New Zealand premium economy (in a space seat) via Los Angeles, transit only. It did mean that I had to buy the super expensive 'including the US' travel insurance for the two hours we spend air side at LAX and we will both have to clear US immigration and be photographed and fingerprinted *sigh*...
The space seats had better be worth it."If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur." -- Red Adair0 -

It will be my pleasure to come back and review them. We're not going until November though.
Alas, we couldn't stretch to business class."If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur." -- Red Adair0 -
Central seats are in groups of three. Outer seats are in pairs. However, you get free seat selection at time of booking, so you can select what you'd prefer. 38J/K is an exit row pair with unlimited space.
However, I'd be tempted to stick with NZs latest space-seat configuration in PE
Why is it the guy is always squashed up while the missus stretches out ?0 -

She's a cheeky moo. They only met at the gate before boarding and now she's got her smelly feet on his lap while he's trying to read his Auto Trader magazine. I'd avoid those seats.0

Fascinating looking at those seats. 35 years ago there was no such thing as business class. Then they introduced business/club with an upgraded seat and service to enable those full fare paying economy passengers to be differentiated from the cheap seats. Then biz got better and better and more expensive so first class had to be too to maintain the differential. Now peeps can't aford biz unless the company is paying and biz is so good that companies who historically used first make people fly in biz. So airlines start to dump first class in droves (some of them only on selected routes) and introduce premium economy to try and maintain the differential.
Result wheel turns full circle and we are back to the same situation as the early eighties again but just under different names.
Just an observation.
