"CUDDLE class'' is tipped to become the next big thing in air travel when it launches next month as the class divide on planes continues to narrow.
Some airlines are starting to introduce rows of three economy class seats together that can be converted into a large, flat space suitable for families or couples who want to stretch out next to each other.
Two passengers travelling together will be able to book the third seat in the row for half price.
The seats, known as Skycouches and light-heartedly referred to as "cuddle class'', have been earmarked for launch on some Air New Zealand services from Auckland to LA in November.
Boutique travel agency Travel Associates general manager David Lovelock said the class divide in the sky was narrowing as airlines moved away from the traditional economy-business-first class cabin configuration.
