Creator's Key Takeaways
I would say that on an overnight longhaul flight, it's money well spent.
I really couldn't have asked for a better setup.
Economy Stretch offered a much more comfortable journey, particularly at the bulkhead and for this lengthy overnight flight. I really do recommend it.
Quantis and Air New Zealand got us to Vancouver in relative comfort and ease, and most of all, safely.

Let's fly from Sydney to Vancouver the LONG way, with a short transit in Auckland. We'll fly in economy on a Qantas 737 before switching to Air New Zealand's Boeing 787-9 V4 where we'll try the airline's Economy Stretch product. At $175AUD extra, it wasn't a cheap addition to the ticket, but it was comfortable. Let me know in the comments if you think Air New Zealand's Economy Stretch is worth the extra cost? Would you fly between Sydney and Vancouver via Auckland if it was cheaper than flying direct? Transiting in Auckland is so much easier and less stressful than having to transit in San Francisco or Los Angeles, so I think we made the right choice for this long haul trip. In this video, we also take a look at The House Lounge in Sydney's international departures terminal.
