What is a Skycouch?

The Economy Skycouch is a unique product designed by Air New Zealand. It allows a 3-seat block of economy seats to be converted into a couch measuring 74cm x 155cm.

If you are travelling alone, as a couple or as a family (two adults and one child or one adult and two children) in Economy, you can upgrade your seat to an Economy Skycouch.  You can learn more about the Skycouch on the Air New Zealand website here.

What can you win?

Thanks to Air New Zealand, we are giving away a trip from London Heathrow to Los Angeles on the Air New Zealand Economy Skycouch.

What you do with the Economy Skycouch is up to you!

If you win, you have the following choices:

You can go to Los Angeles by yourself, and stretch out on the whole Skycouch

If you want to bring a friend or partner, you can share the Skycouch and benefit from an empty middle seat (in seat mode) and the couch for when you want to relax

If you want to travel as a family, you can bring your partner and one child or travel as one adult and two children

It is entirely up to you what you do with the prize. Whether you want to travel alone, as a couple or as a family, Air New Zealand will fly you to Los Angeles and back for free, including all taxes and charges.

How to earn Star Alliance miles from UK credit cards

How to earn Star Alliance miles from UK credit cards (April 2025)

None of the Star Alliance airlines currently have a UK credit card.

There is, however, still a way to earn Star Alliance miles from a UK credit card

The route is via Marriott Bonvoy. Marriott Bonvoy hotel loyalty points convert to over 40 airlines at the rate of 3:1.

The best way to earn Marriott Bonvoy points is via the official Marriott Bonvoy American Express card. It comes with 20,000 points for signing up and 2 points for every £1 you spend. At 2 Bonvoy points per £1, you are earning (at 3:1) 0.66 airline miles per £1 spent on the card.

There is a preferential conversion rate to United Airlines – which is a Star Alliance member – of 2 : 1 if you convert 60,000 Bonvoy points at once.

The Star Alliance members which are Marriott Bonvoy transfer partners are: Aegean, Air Canada, Air China, Air New Zealand, ANA, Asiana Airlines, Avianca, Copa Airlines, Singapore Airlines, TAP Air Portugal, Thai Airways, Turkish Airlines and United Airlines.

You can apply here.
