Traveller Letters: I was excited to fly on the new A321Neo, but now I'll try to avoid it.


Air New Zealand's Airbus A321neo gets the thumbs-down from one Traveller reader.

IT'S A NO FOR NEO

"After recently heading home to New Zealand I was a bit excited to be flying on the brand new Air New Zealand A321Neo. The plane seats more than 200 passengers but it is a single aisle plane with 37 rows and only three (yes three) toilets. Both flights were delayed and the boarding process was tediously long. Fortunately I was in the front of the plane so managed to escape quickly at the other end but the poor passengers at the rear of the plane would have waited quite some time. While the service from Air New Zealand staff was excellent, one must wonder how they feel about this plane. I will avoid the NEO where possible for future trips home. If you are going to squeeze that many passengers into a plane, airlines need to consider getting them on and off efficiently."

See and feel the length - 217 seats

Hey, don't get me wrong, I just posted the original article as a point of view from an "unhappy" traveller.
Me?
What does it matter whether your first or last off, those 'precious' minutes will still be spent waiting for luggage or crawling in traffic.......
Ahhhh, back to my beach
