| Quoting Keesje (Thread starter): Seems like the same single seat angled flat bed configurartion VS has introduced. |
| Quoting Keesje (Thread starter): Seems a choice is made that individual comfort/ privacy is more important then being able to communicate with fellow passengers. |
| Quoting NZAA (Reply 1): NZ1, does the seats have their own personal phone to make interseat calls? |
| Quoting Qantasclub (Reply 3): |
| Quoting Qantasclub (Reply 3): 'inspired by'?? More like...COMPLETE COPY of, and, introduced extremely late, after just about every asia-pacific carrier has already in place lie flat seats. Oh well, better late than never. |
| Quoting NZ107 (Reply 7): Why didn't they come up with something original? A unique design from NZ would have been nice... even a modification of the VS seat. |
| Quoting Nz777 (Reply 9): true, the Air NZ version is based on the VS Product, but what about the QF 1st and business class products, looks very similar to the BA or SQ products, hardly original either? |
| Quoting TG992 (Reply 10): Why should a relatively small airline spend zillions on researching and developing a product when they have the opportunity to license the best product in the market today? |

| Quoting Qantasclub (Reply 11): QF's skybed is not a completely flat bed, but it IS originally designed and has won significant design awards for it's originality |
| Quoting Qantasclub (Reply 11): I hardly think that QF are in the slightest worried at all about ANZ's new upper class copy. It certainly isn't worth the extra stop in Auckland vs non stops from all 3 major cities (MEL/SYD/BRIS) to the US. |

| Quoting NZ767 (Reply 19): Now those seven airlines in that survey are all majors. It stands to reason then that more people fly on them. And obviously, basic mathematics will tell you that if more people are flying them, then chances are more people will be voting for them! Pretty simple really!! |
| Quoting Brutie (Reply 18): So a Qantas-designed non-flat bed must be better than a licensed flat bed, just because it's "original"? What a ridiculous statement. |
| Quoting Qantasclub (Reply 21): but the title to the thread makes it sound like ANZ somehow 'came up with' this brilliant bed, |
| Quoting Qantasclub (Reply 21): No, not necessarily better, but the title to the thread makes it sound like ANZ somehow 'came up with' this brilliant bed, which is an almost exact copy of another carrier's product, rather than an 'inspired' new seat. |
| Quoting Qantasclub (Reply 11): But seriously, ANZ, well done on finally upgrading your decade old business class across a vast and extensive fleet of 8 744s. |
| Quoting NZ1 (Reply 27): No need to be such a smug prick is there??? Just face it, the NZ product is far better than the QF Skybed, and you know it too. NZ1 |
