Air New Zealand recently created a pop-up to give those with a love of travel the chance to understand what sets this airline apart from the rest.
The pop-up, dubbed 'This Is How We Fly,' is a two-storey space on land that's set up to offer a preview of the inflight experience. Guests are able to try out their airline's comfortable Business Premier seats and the Economy Skycouch for couples or families.
The This is How We Fly pop-up also gives visitors the chance to get a taste of the airline's food menu, which includes dishes crafted by chef and restauranteur Peter Gordon. As well as showing off what's on the menu during an Air New Zealand flight, the brand hopes that this tasting will hopefully help to change people's perceptions on the quality and freshness of airline food.
