- I flew business class on an Air New Zealand flight from Los Angeles to Auckland.
- Nine months later, I was on a 12-hour flight from Denver to Tokyo in United’s economy cabin.
- The two flights couldn’t have been more different. Take a look.
Within one year, I embarked on two of the longest flights of my life.
In the summer of 2022, I hopped on an Air New Zealand flight to Auckland, New Zealand.
In the spring of 2023, I was off to Tokyo. This time on United Airlines.
While both flights lasted about 12 hours, there was one major difference. I was seated in business class for Air New Zealand, while for United, I was in the back of the plane in economy. The experiences couldn’t have been more different.
Deciding whether to spend money on a cabin class upgrade or in your destination can be tough for travelers. Take a look at how the two cabins compare.
