"We see a future flying experience where an economy-class customer on long-haul flights would be able to book the Economy Skynest in addition to their Economy seat, get some quality rest and arrive at their destination ready to go," says Nikki Goodman, general manager of Air New Zealand's Customer Experience.

新西兰航空公司客户体验部总经理尼基•古德曼表示：“我们认为，在将来，除了预订经济舱座位，长途航班的经济舱乘客还可以预订‘空中之屋’，得到充分的休息，并在抵达目的地时整装待发。”

The airline will reportedly make a final decision on the Economy Skynest in 2021, once it has assessed the performance of its inaugural year of Auckland-New York operations, due to take flight in October this year.

“空中之屋”预计将在今年10月奥克兰飞往纽约的航线率先使用。据报道，新西兰航空公司将评估该航线的首年运营业绩，并在2021年对是否推广做出最后决定。

inaugural [ɪˈnɔːɡjərəl]：adj.开始的；开幕的

That flight will take an estimated 17 hours and 40 minutes one way, making it one of the longest in the world.

该航线预计单程飞行时间为17小时40分钟，是世界上最长的航线之一。
