This is for long haul trans-pacific flights (e.g. Auckland to San Francisco). I take that route often. It would be highly suspicious if the seatbelt light was on for 12 hours straight. Also, the cabin is seldom full, so getting to lie down without paying for extra seats is quite likely. On my last trip from SFO -> AUK I had three seats to myself and managed to sprawl out across the chairs, albeit uncomfortably. This will be much nicer.
