Sophie Ryan lies aboard Air New Zealand's NZ281, from Singapore to Auckland.
The plane: A Dreamliner Boeing 787-9 with fresh-looking interior and facilities.
The seat: I was seated in a window seat in Economy and had the thrilling experience of no one else sitting in the row. It was a real treat to be able to curl up across the three seats
and have a doze after the meal was served. The seats were spacious and had an adjustable head rest and sculpted seat back.
The food: Standard for airline food. For breakfast there was an Asian or European choice, followed by offers of snacks throughout the remainder of the flight. A light dinner was served two hours before we were due to land.
How full: The flight was about two-thirds full.
