The way we fly is being completely reimagined with several new concepts.
Air New Zealand just revealed its new bunk bed design for economy passengers on airplanes.
It's called the Skynest.
The sleeping pod of sorts will be offered starting this November for the 17-hour flight between New York's JFK airport and Auckland.
Bookings can be made starting next month.

that started as a project in college in 2020.

The bottom level offers some extra leg room.
The company behind it says it's regularly consulting with airline CEOs,
but no one has yet brought them in.
