Q&A: Flight entertainment on Air New Zealand?
Question by rvdfan7: Flight entertainment on Air New Zealand?
I am flying to Los Angeles in a couple of weeks with Air New Zealand. I am from Australia but stopping over in NZ on the way as I don’t live in a city which flies direct to LA and chose this option over going to Melbourne or Sydney. Anyway, would anyone be able to tell me what the flight entertainment is like? What shows/movies/music do they have? Is it pretty much standard or does it vary?
