The Air New Zealand Boeing 777-300ER carries 342 passengers across Business + Premium Economy + Economy. Power and Wi-Fi are available on this aircraft. Seats are rated below, so you can see which have the legroom, the window alignment and the quiet — and which sit next to a galley or lavatory.
The seats rated best on this map are 1A, 1K, 2A, 2K, 3A, 3K. Another 101 seats are rated best or good. Look for 28 extra-legroom seats for the most room.
Seats rated avoid on this map are 34J, 35J, 36D, 36G, 45A, 45B. Another 58 seats are rated avoid. These are usually the back rows near the galley and lavatories, or middle seats with no window or aisle.
Business Premier is a fully lie-flat product in a one-two-one reverse-herringbone layout — every seat has direct aisle access. Air New Zealand is generally well regarded for the food and wine offering in this cabin, with a focus on New Zealand produce. The window columns offer the most seclusion for solo travellers.
Premium Economy sits in a two-four-two layout with a dedicated cabin and meaningfully more legroom and width than Economy below. On Auckland's very long-haul routes — sixteen-plus hours to London or New York — it is a significant upgrade. The outer window pairs are the pick of the cabin.
Three-four-three is the standard ten-across layout — dense, but Air New Zealand manages it reasonably well. Window seats in the outermost columns are the first pick for solo travellers on overnight sectors. The over-wing rows are among the steadiest in turbulence; rear rows near the galleys are the place to avoid.
